AWS - ECS and Fargate
A user tries to push an image to ECR but gets a permission denied error. What is the most likely cause?
AThe Docker image is too large
BThe Docker client version is outdated
CThe ECR repository is in a different AWS region
DThe IAM user or role lacks ECR push permissions
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Analyze permission error cause

    Permission denied usually means the IAM user or role does not have the required ECR push permissions.
  2. Step 2: Exclude other causes

    Image size, region mismatch, or Docker version issues cause different errors, not permission denied.
  3. Final Answer:

    The IAM user or role lacks ECR push permissions -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Permission denied = missing IAM push rights [OK]
Quick Trick: Check IAM permissions if push is denied [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Blaming image size for permission errors
  • Ignoring IAM role policies
  • Assuming region mismatch causes permission denied
