Pushing Docker Image from local machine to Amazon Elastic Container Registry Repositories
This post briefly documents the process of pushing a Docker Image of a Spring Boot based Web App from local machine to Amazon Elastic Container Registry Repositories.
Introduction
Docker is a set of platform as a service products that use OS-level virtualization to deliver software in packages called containers. Containers are isolated from one another and bundle their own software, libraries and configuration files; they can communicate with each other through well-defined channels.
Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) is a fully managed container registry that makes it easy to store, manage, share, and deploy your container images and artifacts anywhere.
