Deploy An Elastic Container Registry (ECR) With Terraform

This AWS blog post will create an Elastic Container Registry (ECR) with a Terraform configuration code.

AWS, Elastic Container Registry (ECR) allows us to store, push and pull Docker container images while maintaining top security levels. ECR also includes a built-in vulnerability scanning to detect security issues.

Terraform Configuration

The following Terraform configuration code will create a secure ECR registry in AWS with tags. All you need to do is change the name of the registry and set the region of your choice.

terraform {
  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "3.47.0"
    }
  }
}

provider "aws" {
  region = "us-east-2"
}

resource "aws_ecr_repository" "ecr" {
  name                 = "deploycontainersecr"
  image_tag_mutability = "MUTABLE"

  image_scanning_configuration {
    scan_on_push = true
 }
  
  tags = {
   name = "ecr"
 }

}
