the problem here is Beanstalk could not pull the image from the ECR service it due to authentication fails You need to make sure the ec2 instance profile has permission for download and pulling the image check that answer amazon ecr - Beanstalk getting container image from different (ECR) AWS account - Stack Overflow

Hi Omar, where exactly I need to put those policy codes? Is it in Dockerrun.aws.json ? or somewhere else?

No, I think it is from IAM roles you need to attach the right policy for the ec2 instance profile,

That an answer from chatgpt to setup(sorry my AWS has a problem so i could not show you the right steps)

To pull an image from Amazon ECR, you need to use an IAM role that has permission to access the ECR repository. You can use an instance profile to pass an IAM role to an EC2 instanceĀ¹. Here are the steps to set up an instance profile and attach it to your EC2 instance:

  • Create an IAM role with a policy that allows access to ECR. For example, you can use the AmazonEC2ContainerRegistryReadOnly managed policyĀ².
  • Create an instance profile and add the IAM role to itĀ¹.
  • Attach the instance profile to your EC2 instanceĀ². You can do this when you launch the instance or modify it later.
  • Retrieve a set of temporary credentials from the instance metadata and use them to authenticate with ECRĀ³. You can use the aws ecr get-login-password command to get a password for Docker login.
