Amazon ECR - Amazon CodePipeline
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Amazon ECR

Triggers the pipeline when a new image is pushed to the Amazon ECR repository. This action provides an image definitions file referencing the URI for the image that was pushed to Amazon ECR. This source action is often used in conjunction with another source action, such as CodeCommit, to allow a source location for all other source artifacts. For more information, see Tutorial: Create a pipeline with an Amazon ECR source and ECS-to-CodeDeploy deployment.

When you use the console to create or edit your pipeline, CodePipeline creates a CloudWatch Events rule that starts your pipeline when a change occurs in the repository.

You must have already created an Amazon ECR repository and pushed an image before you connect the pipeline through an Amazon ECR action.
