# Project ECR-ECS

Hey Learners! Welcome back. We already deployed nginx on the ECS cluster as a part of the 90-daysofdevops challenge on day 48, where we directly had an image from the public repository and ran the nginx container with the help of that image. But in this project, we will first create a custom image as per requirement on the local system and then push that image to the private ECR repository and use that image further for the creation of the container. Let's start...

Day 48 link:- [https://avp23.hashnode.dev/day-48-90daysofdevops](https://avp23.hashnode.dev/day-48-90daysofdevops)

### Create a private repository on ECR

Search for ECR service. Click *Create repository.*

Enter the name for the repository and select *Private* as *Visibility settings.* Click *Create Repository.*

*Note Repository name should be in lowercase*

Repository is created.

### Create a custom Image and Push to the created repository

To create a Node JS app we have to create Dockerfile

![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1695738031805/b3868297-7696-4e6e-89ce-5d0cbf4c81d7.png align="center")

You can directly pull the code from *GitHub* on the local machine. Refer GitHub repository for Code:- [https://github.com/amitvpawar/Docker-AWS-Crash-Course.git](https://github.com/amitvpawar/Docker-AWS-Crash-Course.git)

Build an image using the docker build command

![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1695738164268/b47d4ce9-341a-4916-a118-6c7a47a71658.png align="center")

The image is created successfully

![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1695738208320/ea082e40-d033-4aed-85c4-28f4db1a6c9c.png align="center")

Tag this created image with the ECR repository to push the tagged image to the ECR repository

To tag the image select the repository and click on the *View push command*

![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1695739674432/375f8487-eb1a-413d-89e7-674af0da2a92.png align="center")

Now follow the commands shown in the above screenshot

Step 1- Docker login using AWS credentials

Prerequisite:- AWS CLI must be configured with the access token

![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1695739788395/1e928295-a241-4692-acb7-186809682213.png align="center")

Step 2- We can already have the Image created so we can perform step 3 directly. If you have not created an image yet then create an image using the docker build command as shown in step 2.

Step 3- Tag the created image to push it to the ECR repository. Select the proper image to tag as we have to tag the image with the ECR repository name and tag. Refer below screenshot

![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1695741005816/8f128df8-2049-4151-906f-343a208dc420.png align="center")

Step 4- Push the tagged image to the ECR repository

![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1695742235016/d6898253-2fe9-48c8-964d-abf2b1f963cf.png align="center")

Go to the console and check by selecting Repository. You will have one image with a *v1* tag.

Now we have to create an ECS cluster. Search for *ECS* service and select *Clusters*. Click *Create cluster.*

![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v1695742328385/2f705c69-e769-4d60-a04a-5d499a89ee2e.png align="center")

Enter the Name and select *Amazon EC2 instances* in the infrastructure section. Click *Create*.

Create one service role with the AmazonECSTaskExecutionRolePolicy permissions
