atmos-aws-ecr

Atmos AWS ECR

Use this skill for logging Docker clients into AWS Elastic Container Registry through Atmos. It owns atmos aws ecr login.

Command Model

atmos aws ecr login supports three modes:

# Named integration from auth.integrations
atmos aws ecr login dev/ecr/primary

# All aws/ecr integrations linked to an identity
atmos aws ecr login --identity dev-admin

# Explicit registry URLs using current AWS credentials
atmos aws ecr login --registry 123456789012.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com

Named integration and identity modes use Atmos Auth. Explicit --registry mode uses current AWS credentials from the environment.

Configuration

Configure ECR integrations under auth.integrations with kind: aws/ecr. Route provider, identity, AWS SSO, SAML, OIDC, assume role, and assume root details to atmos-auth.

auth:
  providers:
    company-sso:
      kind: aws/iam-identity-center
      region: us-east-1
      start_url: https://company.awsapps.com/start/

  identities:
    dev-admin:
      kind: aws/permission-set
      via:
        provider: company-sso
      principal:
        name: AdministratorAccess
        account: dev

  integrations:
    dev/ecr/primary:
      kind: aws/ecr
      via:
        identity: dev-admin
      spec:
        auto_provision: true
        registry:
          account_id: "123456789012"
          region: us-east-2

Agent Guidance

• Prefer named integrations for stable registries; they make the account, region, and identity explicit in atmos.yaml.
• Use --identity when the intent is "log in to every ECR registry attached to this identity."
• Use --registry for one-off registry URLs or when a script intentionally uses ambient AWS credentials instead of Atmos Auth.
• ECR credentials are written to Docker's config location, respecting DOCKER_CONFIG when set. Set DOCKER_CONFIG first when the workflow needs isolated credentials.
• spec.auto_provision: true triggers ECR login during atmos auth login; set it to false for registries that should only be logged in explicitly.
• If Docker, AWS CLI, or other tools must be installed for a CI job, route installation to atmos-toolchain.
