AWS ECR

This repository will help you to understand, how to push your docker images to AWS ECR using Github actions

STEPS

1. CREATE PRIVATE REPOSITORY IN ECR

• Login to you AWS account
• Go to AWS Container Registry service and create a private repository
• Create Private Repository with a suitable name

2. CREATE IAM USER

• Create IAM user and create an inline policy
• An Inline policy will allow the IAM user to login to ECR, build and tag docker images and push docker images to AWS ECR

Policy Examples

1. The following policy will enable user to push docker images to any ECR registry

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "ecr:CompleteLayerUpload",
                "ecr:GetAuthorizationToken",
                "ecr:UploadLayerPart",
                "ecr:InitiateLayerUpload",
                "ecr:BatchCheckLayerAvailability",
                "ecr:PutImage"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

2. The following policy will enable/restrict user to push docker images to a specific ECR registry

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "ecr:CompleteLayerUpload",
                "ecr:UploadLayerPart",
                "ecr:InitiateLayerUpload",
                "ecr:BatchCheckLayerAvailability",
                "ecr:PutImage"
            ],
            "Resource": "arn:aws:ecr:region:111122223333:repository/repository-name"
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": "ecr:GetAuthorizationToken",
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}
