So I've looked through these docs and a few others: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/clouds/aws/guides/ecr/ https://www.pulumi.com/blog/building-and-publishing-docker-images-to-a-private-amazon-ecr-repository/ Is there a way to push an existing already built docker image to ECR from within pulumi JS/TS? (without using docker CLI) Edit: it's either this or how do I actually get the URI of the ECR image out of the js/ts file to use within CICD or do I literally have to do child_process exec and insert it that way lmfao I just want to take an existing image on the file system and push it to ECR, the URL of which comes from a js/ts file.

If you want to keep track of your upload in the Pulumi's stack/state, then maybe a LocalCommand could come in useful? https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-command

interesting!! thank you

I think you want https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/docker/api-docs/registryimage/

is this due to pulumi's design inclination toward tracking dirty vs clean resources ?
