AWS CLI: Authenticating Docker CLI to default registry

I am trying to upload an image using ECR, to do so I am following these steps.

But when doing so, I get this error message:

.Password was unexpected at this time.

Is there another command that can be run in order to authenticate and proceed? I do have the AWS CLI installed already as well.

I am on Windows therefore I am trying to run this command:

(Get-ECRLoginCommand).Password | docker login --username AWS --password-stdin aws_account_id.dkr.ecr.region.amazonaws.com

Solution

  • After doing some digging, this command seems to resolve the issue:

    Install-AWSToolsModule AWS.Tools.ECR

    Afterwards, the original command should work as expected.
