Request Syntax

{ "encryptionConfiguration": { "encryptionType": "string", "kmsKey": "string" }, "imageScanningConfiguration": { "scanOnPush": boolean }, "imageTagMutability": "string", "registryId": "string", "repositoryName": "string", "tags": [ { "Key": "string", "Value": "string" } ] }

Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

encryptionConfiguration

The encryption configuration for the repository. This determines how the contents of your repository are encrypted at rest.

Required: No

imageScanningConfiguration

The image scanning configuration for the repository. This determines whether images are scanned for known vulnerabilities after being pushed to the repository.

Type: ImageScanningConfiguration object

Required: No

imageTagMutability

The tag mutability setting for the repository. If this parameter is omitted, the default setting of MUTABLE will be used which will allow image tags to be overwritten. If IMMUTABLE is specified, all image tags within the repository will be immutable which will prevent them from being overwritten.

Type: String

Valid Values: MUTABLE | IMMUTABLE

Required: No

registryId

The Amazon account ID associated with the registry to create the repository. If you do not specify a registry, the default registry is assumed.

Type: String

Pattern: [0-9]{12}

Required: No

repositoryName

The name to use for the repository. The repository name may be specified on its own (such as nginx-web-app) or it can be prepended with a namespace to group the repository into a category (such as project-a/nginx-web-app).

The repository name must start with a letter and can only contain lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens, underscores, and forward slashes.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 2. Maximum length of 256.

Required: Yes

tags

The metadata that you apply to the repository to help you categorize and organize them. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define. Tag keys can have a maximum character length of 128 characters, and tag values can have a maximum length of 256 characters.

Type: Array of Tag objects

Required: No

Response Syntax

{ "repository": { "createdAt": number, "encryptionConfiguration": { "encryptionType": "string", "kmsKey": "string" }, "imageScanningConfiguration": { "scanOnPush": boolean }, "imageTagMutability": "string", "registryId": "string", "repositoryArn": "string", "repositoryName": "string", "repositoryUri": "string" } }

Response Elements

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.

The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.

repository

Examples

In the following example or examples, the Authorization header contents (AUTHPARAMS) must be replaced with an Amazon Signature Version 4 signature. For more information about creating these signatures, see Signature Version 4 Signing Process in the Amazon General Reference.

You only need to learn how to sign HTTP requests if you intend to manually create them. When you use the Amazon Command Line Interface (Amazon CLI) or one of the Amazon SDKs to make requests to Amazon, these tools automatically sign the requests for you with the access key that you specify when you configure the tools. When you use these tools, you don't need to learn how to sign requests yourself.

Example

This example creates a repository called sample-repo in the default registry for an account.
