Push Docker Images to AWS ECR
Docker is a great containerization platform for running isolated applications. A container is an application or service that’s been bundled with all its dependencies. This bundle is called an image.
I will use these commands to create an api image and push it to the registry:
# authenticate with aws ecr
aws ecr get-login-password --region {REGION} |\
docker login --username AWS \
--password-stdin {AWSID}.dkr.ecr.{REGION}.amazonaws.com
# build image
docker build -t api .
# tag image
docker tag api:latest {AWSID}.dkr.ecr.{REGION}.amazonaws.com/api:latest
# push to ecr
docker push {AWSID}.dkr.ecr.{REGION}.amazoneaws.com/api:latest{REGION}: replace with your region{AWSID}: replace AWS account number/id
