This article shows how to connect the SWIFT with Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR). SWIFT can pull container images directly from ECR. This makes it easier to manage images in a secure way.
Pre-requisite:
1. AWS account with an ECR repository.
2. AWS CLI installed and configured.
3. To add an Amazon ECR image registry in SWIFT, you need AWS validate credentials to authenticate and allow SWIFT to discover and manage your registry. To create required credentials with the necessary permissions and retrieving the AWS Access Key and Secret Key. For that please refer to the Pre-requisite Guide (pages 45–51) in the KB document provided below.
