I complained yesterday about my dif­fi­cul­ties in deploying Docker containers on AWS. I have since succeeded in getting my app to deploy on Elas­ticBeanstalk, though I have not quite ironed out all the problems.

I found several problems:

• I had to revert from a Multi-Container Docker en­vi­ron­ment to a Single-Container Docker en­vi­ron­ment because ECS wasn’t starting in the multi-container en­vi­ron­ment. That meant I had to revert to a v1 Dockerrun.aws.json.
• I had to ensure that the Instance Profile had the Ama­zonEC2­Con­tain­erReg­istryRead­On­ly policy attached, so that I could pull from the EC2 Container Repository.
