How to pull container instances stored in Amazon Elastic Container Registry

Question

I have certain container images which I previously used, stored in Amazon Container Registry. So how do I configure my container instances to pull from Amazon Elastic Container Registry?

Answer 1

Amazon ECR is integrated with Amazon ECS allowing you to easily store, run, and manage container images for applications running on Amazon ECS. All you need to do is specify the AWS ECR repository in your Task Definition and attach the AmazonEC2ContainerServiceforEC2Role to your instances. Then Amazon ECS will retrieve the appropriate images for your applications.

Hope this helped!
