Pushing an image to a public repository - Amazon ECR Public
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).

Pushing an image to a public repository

You can push your Docker images to an Amazon ECR public repository with the docker push command.

Important

Amazon ECR requires that users have permission to make calls to the ecr-public:GetAuthorizationToken and sts:GetServiceBearerToken API through an IAM policy before they can authenticate to a registry and push any images to an Amazon ECR repository.

Amazon ECR Public also supports creating and pushing Docker manifest lists which are used for multi-architecture images. Each image referenced in a manifest list must already be pushed to your repository. For more information, see Pushing a multi-architecture image to a public repository.

To push a Docker image to an Amazon ECR public repository

  1. Authenticate your Docker client to the Amazon ECR public registry to which you intend to push your image. Authentication tokens are valid for 12 hours. For more information, see Registry authentication.

  2. If your public repository does not exist in the registry you intend to push to yet, create it. For more information, see Creating a public repository.

  3. Identify the image to push. Run the docker images command to list the images on your system.

    docker images

    You can identify an image with the repository:tag value or the image ID in the resulting command output.

  4. Tag your image with the Amazon ECR public registry, public repository, and optional image tag name combination to use. The public registry format is public.ecr.aws/registry_alias. The public repository name should match the repository that you created for your image. If you omit the image tag, we assume that the tag is latest.

    The following example tags an image with the ID e9ae3c220b23 as public.ecr.aws/registry_alias/my-web-app

    docker tag e9ae3c220b23 public.ecr.aws/registry_alias/my-web-app

  5. Push the image using the docker push command:

    docker push public.ecr.aws/registry_alias/my-web-app

  6. (Optional) Apply any additional tags to your image and push those tags to Amazon ECR Public by repeating Step 4 and Step 5. You can apply up to 1000 tags per image in Amazon ECR Public.
