Skip need to specify ECS URI for docker images

Question

Right now I do this:

docker run -it --rm 201811111111.dkr.ecr.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/foo/bar:latest /bin/sh

Is there a way to configure Docker so I can just do this?

docker run -it --rm foo/bar:latest /bin/sh

Answer 1

There's no global configuration you can set to make this happen. However, for each tag, you can do this:

docker tag 201811111111.dkr.ecr.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/foo/bar:latest foo/bar:latest

which lets you do this:

docker run -it --rm foo/bar:latest /bin/sh

docker images will show both the images.
