The request is for public ECR images and public ECR charts to be accessible through AWS ECR Public, which would facilitate smoother deployments.

Currently, the process involves retrieving Elastic images through the Elastic ECR public repository. Since access to Amazon ECR public repository is permitted for some 'air-gapped' environments, the anticipated availability of the Elastic operator chart in this repository is highly beneficial. It would streamline the onboarding process for the Elastic Stack by providing a centralized access point, thereby eliminating the necessity for supplementary 'air-gap repo sync' solutions or proxy configurations.
