Amazon ECR Explained & Hands-On | Build, Tag & Push Docker Image to AWS ECR

🚀 Amazon ECR Explained & Hands-On | Build, Tag & Push Docker Image to AWS ECR In this session, we take a hands-on look at Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) and understand how Docker images move from a developer's machine into AWS. We will cover: 🔹 What is Amazon ECR? 🔹 Docker images vs running containers 🔹 Understanding Docker image layers 🔹 Creating a private ECR repository 🔹 Authenticating Docker with ECR 🔹 Building a Docker image 🔹 Tagging the image with the ECR repository URI 🔹 Pushing the Docker image to ECR 🔹 Understanding image tags like latest and versioned tags 🔹 Running the ECR image locally using Docker 🔹 How ECS and EKS use images stored in ECR 🔹 Complete CI/CD flow from source code to container registry 🔄 CI/CD Flow Developer → Git/Bitbucket → CI/CD Pipeline → Build & Test → Security Scan → Docker Build → Image Scan → Amazon ECR → ECS/EKS This hands-on demonstration uses the seh-students Spring Boot application to show the complete Docker-to-ECR workflow. 💡 Key takeaway: ECR is a managed container image registry. It stores and manages container images, while services such as ECS and EKS pull those images and run the containers. Thanks for watching, and happy learning! 🚀
