How to deploy a Docker image to AWS with the smallest number of CLI commands?

Question

What is the smallest possible number of commands necessary to deploy (and run) a Docker image to AWS using only the CLI?

Assumptions:
* Assume I have a Docker Image already built and tested on my local machine using `docker build` and `docker run`
* Assume I have an AWS account and already configured credentials with lab-grade permissions (`*:*`) for CLI use
* I'm agnostic to the service to be used - ECS, EKS, Beanstalk, Fargate, even unmanaged EC2 - doesn't matter as long as it leads to the shortest possible command line.
* If the CLI refers to some Cloud Formation templates - that's fine

Research so far (UPDATED):
* This article shows how to deploy a standard image: https://appfleet.com/blog/automate-docker-container-deployment-to-aws-ecs-using-cloudformation/ - but it's not clear how I can use my own locally built image instead

*UPDATE2*

I understand the concept of a container registry and I tried to register my image using the instructions here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECR/latest/userguide/docker-push-ecr-image.html - but the `docker login` command gives me this error:

> Error response from daemon: Get "https://XXXXXXXXXXXXX.dkr.ecr.region.amazonaws.com/v2/": Service Unavailable

Answer

You can achieve this with a single command cdk deploy for ECS/EKS with EC2/Fargate as hosting model. See examples here related ECS/EKS/Fargate. The examples are in typescript but there are many examples in other languages as well such as python. AWS CDK enables you to generate a Cloudformation template as well in case you prefer that using cdk synth

There is direct support, for referencing an image in ECR and providing that to ECS/EKS

Hope this helps.

There is direct support, for referencing an image in [ECR](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/docs/aws-cdk-lib.aws_ecr.Repository.html) and providing that to ECS/EKS
