**Request for comment:** please share your thoughts on this potential improvement to ECS:

Enable image scans for Windows Images on push for your repositories to ensure every image is automatically checked against an aggregated set of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). This can help you automate detection and responses to container image vulnerabilities prior to promoting and deploying into production. You can also scan images using an API command, allowing you to set up periodic scans for running container images to ensure continued monitoring. ECR notifies you when a scan completes, and results are available in the console and over the API.

ECR uses Amazon ECR uses the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) database from the open source CoreOS Clair project.

Please feel free to provide feedback or suggestions.
