**Tell us about your request**

Expand ECR replication to include syncing removal of tags to the replicated registries.

**Which service(s) is this request for?**
ECR

**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**

We use tags to manage the lifecycle of images across all regions. Not having the tags removals replicated results in obsolete tags persist in replicated regions, causing unnecessary retention of images. This leads to increased storage costs.

Research direction

No repository files, tests, or implementation entry points are identified. Start by reviewing the ECR cross-region replication behavior described here and define the requirements for propagating image-tag removals; done means obsolete tags are removed from replicated registries without affecting image replication.
