@Marvin My coworker is able to deploy deployments in prefect 2.11 where the code is stored in AWS ECR When I try to deploy a new deployment the Prefect CLI asks me to point it to a git repo. Is there a config somewhere that we're missing?

It seems that there might be a misunderstanding or a configuration discrepancy between your setup and that of your coworker. Generally speaking, Prefect 2.x allows for various storage options for code, including AWS Elastic Container Registry (ECR) and different git repositories. You should first ensure that you have the appropriate permissions and configuration to access AWS ECR, as your coworker does. The Prefect CLI asking to point to a git repo indicates it is likely defaulting to git-based storage. Authenticating to other Docker image registries like AWS ECR is possible with the use of GitHub Actions; specifically, the 
docker/login-action
can push images to AWS ECR. If your coworker's deployment method relies on a CI/CD pipeline that uses GitHub Actions, you might want to check how that workflow is set up. Also, ensure that you have the relevant API keys and workspace details needed to deploy within your organization's Prefect setup. Since the provided excerpts from the documents are not fully giving a step-by-step guide on how to configure AWS ECR with Prefect's deployment process, I would recommend checking the links for more detailed information: - Authenticating to Docker image registries and Prefect in CI/CD - Flow code storage options for production deployments If these resources don't fully resolve your issue, consider exploring the configuration files and environment variables associated with Prefect on both your and your coworker's setups, or reach out to someone in your organization who has successfully configured deployments to AWS ECR for guidance.
To push and build Docker images for AWS ECR, follow these best practices: ### Prerequisites 1. Install Docker: Ensure Docker is installed on your system. 2. AWS CLI: Install and configure the AWS CLI with the necessary permissions (e.g., 
AmazonEC2ContainerRegistryFullAccess
). ### Dockerfile Create a 
Dockerfile
for your application where you can define the dependencies and configurations required for your container. ### Login to AWS ECR Authenticate Docker to your Amazon ECR registry. Use the AWS CLI to get login credentials and then execute the command returned.
Copy code
bash
aws ecr get-login-password --region <your-region> | docker login --username AWS --password-stdin <aws-account-id>.dkr.ecr.<region>.<http://amazonaws.com|amazonaws.com>
### Build, Tag, and Push Your Docker Image 1. Build your Docker image:
Copy code
bash
    docker build -t <image-name>:<tag> .
2. Tag the image for your ECR repository:
Copy code
bash
    docker tag <image-name>:<tag> <aws-account-id>.dkr.ecr.<region>.<http://amazonaws.com/<repository-name>:<tag|amazonaws.com/<repository-name>:<tag>>
3. Push the image to your ECR repository:
Copy code
bash
    docker push <aws-account-id>.dkr.ecr.<region>.<http://amazonaws.com/<repository-name>:<tag|amazonaws.com/<repository-name>:<tag>>
### Example CI/CD Pipeline Configuration For integrating with CI/CD pipelines, you can use GitHub Actions to automate the process. Below is a simplified example:
Copy code
yaml
name: Deploy to ECR

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  build-and-deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    
    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
        
      - name: Install AWS CLI
        run: sudo apt-get install awscli

      - name: Log in to ECR
        run: aws ecr get-login-password --region <your-region> | docker login --username AWS --password-stdin <aws-account-id>.dkr.ecr.<region>.<http://amazonaws.com|amazonaws.com>
        
      - name: Build Docker image
        run: docker build -t <image-name>:<tag> .
        
      - name: Tag Docker image
        run: docker tag <image-name>:<tag> <aws-account-id>.dkr.ecr.<region>.<http://amazonaws.com/<repository-name>:<tag|amazonaws.com/<repository-name>:<tag>>
        
      - name: Push Docker Image
        run: docker push <aws-account-id>.dkr.ecr.<region>.<http://amazonaws.com/<repository-name>:<tag|amazonaws.com/<repository-name>:<tag>>
### Additional Resources - Prefect Guide: Deployment with Push Work Pools - Prefect Guide: ECS Integration ### Troubleshooting If you encounter any issues, you might want to refer to specific GitHub issues or error logs. For instance, there was an issue where Docker images did not work with Prefect's DockerContainer infrastructure blocks (GitHub Issue #6230). By following these best practices and exploring the links provided, you should be able to successfully push and build Docker images in AWS ECR.
