Use a public docker image in AWS ECS

Amazon Web Services carefully explain how to use a private docker image in ECS, the Amazon container service. But fails to mention what repository URL to use for a dockerhub public repository. The answer is … none at all. Just the same as the docker CLI, if you specify just namespace/imagename for a container image, ECS will pull it from dockerhub.

  1. So what is the namespace for image python:3.7-alpine
    docker pull python:3.7-alpine works just fine.

  2. today 2019-10-25 i had to enter the url
    docker.io/aleon1220/hostname
    for the stack in cloud formation to be deployed correctly
