Importing the Anjuna Docker images to AWS ECR

In the previous section, you created an AWS EKS cluster. For the preferred way to specify the docker images that should be loaded in the AWS cluster, you will use ECR (or Amazon Elastic Container Registry).

In this section, you will upload the Anjuna Nitro Kubernetes tools to AWS ECR so that the EKS cluster can use those tools.

From the directory to which you extracted the downloaded package, run the build-anjuna-docker-images.sh script.

$ ./build-anjuna-docker-images.sh

This script builds the docker images from their sources (located in ./docker/specs) - allowing you to control the base image, if needed, to align it to your organization standards.

Confirm that the docker images were correctly imported by running the following command:

$ docker images

This should show the following images:

docker images
REPOSITORY              TAG           IMAGE ID         CREATED         SIZE
anjuna-nitro-webhook    1.24.0001     dbfaa3fb38b5     2 hours ago     85.5MB
anjuna-nitro-launcher   1.24.0001     62b682bd707a     2 hours ago     832MB

You can now push the images to ECR:

$ ./anjuna-k8s.sh --push-images-ecr

This command will automatically create the ECR repositories for the Anjuna Nitro Kubernetes containers (anjuna-nitro-webhook and anjuna-nitro-launcher).

Congratulations! Now that the Anjuna Nitro Kubernetes containers have been pushed to AWS ECR, your AWS EKS cluster can be configured to deploy those containers, which are responsible for automatically identifying and configuring Pods that are supposed to run in a Nitro Enclave.
