How to download the Helm Charts hosted on ECR

Question

The requirement is quite simple, I want to download Helm Charts hosted on ECR. 
I have tried curl, wget but I get access denied.

1. HELM CHART URI :- public.ecr.aws/aws-ec2/aws-node-termination-handler:v1.20.0
2. ECR URL : https://gallery.ecr.aws/aws-ec2/aws-node-termination-handler

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECR/latest/userguide/ECR_on_EKS.html#using-helm-charts-eks

I did refer this document, however it has steps for install Helm Chart not dowloading it.

If I could use 'helm pull' with ECR, how will the look like cmd.

Answer

Hello there,

To use helm pull with ECR, the command will be as follows:

```
helm pull ecr-chart-demo oci://aws_account_id.dkr.ecr.region.amazonaws.com/chart_name
```

You will need to authenticate your Helm client to the Amazon ECR registry that your Helm chart is hosted before running the command above.

That said, from the two urls you shared, the HELM CHART URI is not Helm chart URI. It is a URI to a public container image and you can use `docker pull` command to fetch the docker image.

Answer

```
Docker pull public.ecr.aws/aws-ec2/aws-node-termination-handler:v1.20.0
```

Will download the docker image
