Are you asking about the additional time it takes to build the image for to do the diff?

in my build setup I build the images and upload them to dockerhub, now I want pulumi to just pull and upload this image to ECR without building the image locally again

Related issue: <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-docker/issues/54>

docker.Image() builds image locally, which I want to avoid

You might need to use <https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/docker/api-docs/image/#cachefrom_nodejs>

Isn't that for buildcache? I want to avoid the build altogether I want to do this

1. docker pull &lt;soucre&gt;
2. docker tage &lt;source&gt; &lt;ecr-dest&gt;
3. docker push &lt;ecr-dest&gt;
I can't find equivalent for 3

I don't think you can currently achieve what you want with the provider

Ah that's sad, so a work around is to use `command` and run docker commands like mentioned in the issue. Do you know any other work around?

I was suggesting the build cache as a work-around, unfortunately.

Command can work, or maybe look into something with <https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/docker/api-docs/getregistryimage/> (I don't have any personal experience with this, though)

Good luck, I'm curious about what solution you end up going with.
