Create a custom container - AWS SimSpace Weaver

Create a custom container

These instructions assume that you know how to use Docker and Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR). For more information about Amazon ECR, see the Amazon ECR User Guide.

Prerequisites

  • The IAM identity (use or role) that you use to perform these actions has the correct permissions to use Amazon ECR

  • Docker is installed on your local system

To create a custom container

  1. Create your Dockerfile.

    A Dockerfile to run AWS SimSpace Weaver apps starts with the Amazon Linux 2 image in Amazon ECR.

    # parent image required to run AWS SimSpace Weaver apps
FROM public.ecr.aws/amazonlinux/amazonlinux:2

  2. Build your Dockerfile.

  3. Upload your container image to Amazon ECR.

    Note

    If you get an AccessDeniedException error when you try to upload your container image to Amazon ECR, your IAM identity (user or role) might not have the necessary permissions to use Amazon ECR. You can attach the AmazonEC2ContainerRegistryPowerUser AWS managed policy to your IAM identity and try again. For more information about how to attach a policy, see Adding and removing IAM identity permissions in the AWS Identity and Access Management User Guide.
