- You should be able to open the flask app in browser using:
http://localhost:5000
- Create Repository in Elastic Container Registry (ECR):
aws ecr create-repository --repository-name demo-flask-app
- Get a command you can use for logging in to the ECR repository you’ve just created:
aws ecr get-login --region $YOUR_REGION --no-include-email

docker tag flask-demo-app:latest ACCOUNTID.dkr.ecr.REGIONNAME.amazonaws.com
