Pushing Docker container to ECR

[ragnar.callan]

I need to push a docker container into ECR. As per the AWS Bitbucket account, this is what i need to add to my bitbucket-pipeline.yaml

YAML Definition

Add the following snippet to the script section of your bitbucket-pipelines.yml file:

- pipe: atlassian/aws-ecr-push-image:1.2.2
  variables:
    AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: '<string>' # Optional if already defined in the context.
    AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: '<string>' # Optional if already defined in the context.
    AWS_DEFAULT_REGION: '<string>' # Optional if already defined in the context.
    IMAGE_NAME: "<string>"
    # TAGS: "<string>" # Optional
    # DEBUG: "<boolean>" # Optional

I have multiple Script sections in my current bitbucket-pipeline.yaml where do i need to add this?

Hi @ragnar.callan ,

The easiest option is to add this command in the script where you build the Docker container you want to push.

An example from the documentation page https://bitbucket.org/atlassian/aws-ecr-push-image/src/master/ :

script:
  # build the image
  - docker build -t my-docker-image .

  # use the pipe to push the image to AWS ECR
  - pipe: atlassian/aws-ecr-push-image:1.2.2
    variables:
      AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: $AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
      AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: $AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
      AWS_DEFAULT_REGION: $AWS_DEFAULT_REGION
      IMAGE_NAME: my-docker-image

If you want to use the pipe in a separate step, other than the one you are building the image, you'll need to use artifacts. You can check the most upvoted response here for a way to do this:
