Is there a way to build a docker image for a specific platform architecture with the

awsx.ecr.Image

resource. I tried to set it with the

args

but it seems like that didn’t work either

const plaidContainerImage = new awsx.ecr.Image("plaid-container-image", {
    repositoryUrl: ecrRepositoryUrl,
    path: "..",
    args: {"platform": "linux/amd64"}
})

@elegant-gigabyte-8733 there are a lot of parts at play here including the Dockerfile you're using, the base image, etc.

The

docker.Image

allows you to build for a specific platform

Yes, you can set the platform architecture for a Docker image using the platform property of build in the docker.Image resource. Here's a Pulumi TypeScript program that demonstrates how to do this:

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as docker from "@pulumi/docker";

// Build a Docker image with a specific platform architecture
const myImage = new docker.Image("my-image", {
    build: {
        context: "./path/to/docker-context",
        platform: "linux/arm64", // Set the platform architecture here
        dockerfile: "./path/to/Dockerfile",
    },
    imageName: "my-docker-image",
    // Set registry credentials if needed
    // registry: {
    //     server: "my-docker-registry-server",
    //     username: "my-docker-registry-username",
    //     password: "my-docker-registry-password",
    // },
});

Note that that's

docker.Image

not

awsx.ecr.Image

args

is the wrong place those after reading the docs closer

reading the ECR multi-arch announcement makes me think it's not that simple: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/containers/introducing-multi-architecture-container-images-for-amazon-ecr/

Oof

typically in this sort of world you'd want to use CI/CD to build your images so that you can have control over the build platform so that your local environment doesn't cause these problems.

Agreed, I like to test the new flows and get them working first and then add to CI/CD

agree 😩

This actually worked 🤯 https://pulumi-community.slack.com/archives/C01PF3E1B8V/p1687361984474389?thread_ts=1687361406.964499&cid=C01PF3E1B8V

neat 👍🏼

Wow that would be really helpful

I believe setting

DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM="linux/amd64"

also works, either in the shell that runs

pulumi

or as an environment variable on the

Image

resource itself. I'll verify though

Thank you! Very helpful
