Which part of this were you hoping to be simpler? The first statement is required to create an ECR repository to use. The second statement is required to get credentials for accessing it from AWS (given that these are short lived and not directly available from the repository). The third statement captures which folder to build and what name to tag and push it with. In something like

cloud.Service

we hide all of those steps inside

new cloud.Service("s", { build: "./app" })

, but all of those steps still have to happen.

Why does the

getCredentials

function need a registry id? I'm running into dependency issues on previews since the repo doesn't exist yet

I think the short lived credentials are specific to a registry. This ultimately boils down to https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/ecr/get-login.html.

Registry IDs are optional, it should be possible to get a global login for a specific region

Ahh - indeed that is right - we can likely relax this in the

getCredentials

API then. Want to open an issue in https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-docker?

I can do that, did you mean open an issue under https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-aws instead?

Yeah - that works - thanks!
