Public Image

Steps

1. Create the service and wait for READY (SKILL.md Workflow, step 1) — poll with:

   bashCopy

   aws lightsail get-container-services --service-name NAME --region REGION

2. Deploy with create-container-service-deployment. The image is the public reference (e.g. public.ecr.aws/nginx/nginx:latest or docker.io/library/nginx:latest), and publicEndpoint.containerPort must be the port the app listens on and appear in that container’s ports.

   bashCopy

   aws lightsail create-container-service-deployment \
     --service-name NAME \
     --containers '{"web":{"image":"public.ecr.aws/nginx/nginx:latest","ports":{"80":"HTTP"}}}' \
     --public-endpoint '{"containerName":"web","containerPort":80,"healthCheck":{"path":"/"}}' \
     --region REGION

3. Poll the deployment to ACTIVE and verify the URL — see deployment.md (opens in a new tab).

Notes

• If the image is in a private registry (for example a private Amazon ECR repository), that is a different path — configure privateRegistryAccess on the service so Lightsail can pull it; it is not covered here.
