What it is and what it does
cdk-ecr-deployment is a CDK construct library that automates the deployment of Docker images to Amazon ECR and other registries. It wraps the container image transport layer used by Skopeo to enable image copying directly from CDK code, supporting sources like local Docker image assets, public registries, private registries (with credential management via AWS Secrets Manager), and S3 archives. The construct handles multi-architecture image indexes and can deploy to both private and public ECR repositories.
The package is designed for infrastructure-as-code workflows where Docker image deployment is part of a larger CDK stack. It abstracts away the complexity of registry authentication, image transport, and manifest handling, allowing developers to express image deployment as a declarative construct. The library relies on aws-cdk-lib, constructs, jsii, and publication for its core functionality.
Use it for
- Deploy a locally-built Docker image asset from CDK to a private ECR repository during stack synthesis.
- Mirror a public container image (e.g., nginx) from Docker Hub to a private ECR for air-gapped or compliance-controlled environments.
- Copy multi-architecture images with per-architecture tags to support both amd64 and arm64 deployments.
- Restore a Docker image from an S3-stored tarball archive into ECR as part of disaster recovery or migration workflows.
- Publish a private ECR image to AWS public ECR with automatic IAM permission attachment.
