Complete Guide: Build and Push Docker Images to ECR Locally with AWS CodeBuild (Part 2)

First thinks first : The Github link :

Welcome back to the second part of our AWS CodeBuild series! In this video, I’ll take you deeper into setting up AWS CodeBuild locally with a focus on using it to build Docker images and push them directly to Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR). This tutorial is a step-by-step guide on working with Docker and CodeBuild locally, streamlining your development workflow without repeatedly accessing the AWS Console.

What You’ll Learn in This Video:

Creating a Dockerfile: Learn the essentials of writing a Dockerfile to define the environment and dependencies for your application.
Using CodeBuild Locally for Docker Images: Finally, we’ll use our local CodeBuild setup to build a Docker image and push it directly to Amazon ECR, demonstrating a seamless workflow from development to deployment.

By the end of this video, you’ll have a fully functioning local CodeBuild setup that enables you to build and test Docker images without relying on the AWS Management Console for every change. This tutorial is perfect for developers, DevOps engineers, and anyone looking to improve their CI/CD process using AWS CodeBuild locally.
Why Build Docker Images Locally with CodeBuild?

Using AWS CodeBuild locally offers flexibility and efficiency, enabling you to:

Test and Iterate Faster: Instantly run your build and push processes without waiting for deployments on AWS.
Cost-Efficiency: Avoid costs associated with frequent test builds on AWS by keeping it local.
Troubleshoot Locally: Debug issues directly on your machine, enhancing productivity and minimizing AWS dependency.

Video Breakdown:

Introduction to Docker and CodeBuild: Get a brief overview of Docker, CodeBuild, and how using them locally can simplify your CI/CD pipeline.

Step 1: Writing a Dockerfile
In this step, I’ll guide you through creating a Dockerfile that defines your application's environment. From choosing a base image to adding dependencies, you’ll understand each line in the Dockerfile and how it impacts the image build process.

Step 4: Building and Pushing Docker Images to ECR with CodeBuild Local Setup
This is the highlight of the video! You’ll see how to use your local CodeBuild setup to build a Docker image and push it directly to ECR. I’ll cover the necessary configurations, authentication steps, and commands for a successful push, ensuring your image is stored and ready for deployment.

Benefits of This Workflow

By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have the skills to:

Efficiently build Docker images locally and push them to ECR, minimizing reliance on the AWS Console.
