Step 5: Publish images
In this step, AWS Transform publishes your container images to Amazon Elastic Container Registry. If you have not yet configured Amazon ECR access, AWS Transform prompts you to provide your Amazon ECR repository details at this point.
What happens during publishing
AWS Transform performs the following tasks for each container image:
-
Connector configuration — If you have not already configured Amazon ECR access, AWS Transform presents a connector form where you provide your Amazon ECR repository ARN and connect to your AWS account.
-
Approval request — AWS Transform presents the list of images to be published and requests your approval. You can approve or reject the publishing operation.
-
Image push — After approval, AWS Transform publishes the container images to your Amazon ECR repository using . If you have multiple services, AWS Transform publishes all images in a single batch operation.
-
Vulnerability scanning — Amazon ECR automatically scans the published images for known vulnerabilities. AWS Transform reports the scan results. For more comprehensive analysis, enable AWS ECR enhanced scanning and AWS GuardDuty Runtime Monitoring.
Note
Image publishing runs asynchronously using . If your session is interrupted during publishing, AWS Transform automatically recovers the operation when you reconnect.
What you need to do
-
Review the list of images to be published.
-
Approve or reject the publishing operation. If you reject, AWS Transform skips image publishing and you can proceed to the next step without published images.
-
Review the vulnerability scan results after publishing completes.
After publishing, AWS Transform provides the image URIs that are used in the infrastructure deployment steps.
