Aws-codebuild-docker-images: Host AWS CodeBuild Docker images on the Amazon ECR Public registry

[a-h]

The last time I tried to build a CodeBuild image to reproduce an issue (a couple of years ago), I searched for the images on Dockerhub to try and reproduce it only to find that the images aren't available (https://github.com/aws/aws-codebuild-docker-images/issues/152).

I then had to build locally, which wasted a lot of time. Once it had built, I was unable to reproduce the problem with the container locally (it wasn't exactly the same container as in CodeBuild after all) so I gave up on CodeBuild completely.

When I saw that Amazon Elastic Container Registry Public was released, I thought, great, that must have been what they were waiting for, but I don't see any Docker images in there... https://gallery.ecr.aws/?searchTerm=CodeBuild

Is this a planned feature, if not could this project start pushing image to AWS ECR Public please?

This would be pretty good, indeed.

@a-h @ deleugpn I found it here: https://gallery.ecr.aws/everest/codebuild/ubuntu/standard
are they not up to date or was the issue resolved?

@1oglop1 Looks like that is not an official build... from the link:

These are unofficial builds of the Docker images used for AWS CodeBuild

[a-h]

I think the issue is now worse than it was because there are images that look official, like this: https://gallery.ecr.aws/e3e6e9v4/codebuild

Who created the containers, and what's in them?

Maybe let this guy know you're all interested in this feature...
