Answer 1

You need to check the value of your GitLab job secrets regarding:

• AWS_REGISTRY_URL
• AWS_DEFAULT_REGION
• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
• AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

As in this thread (for a bitBucket pipeline, but can be applied to a GitLab one), your pipeline should include a login step

eval $(aws ecr get-login --no-include-email --region YOUR-REGION-HERE | sed 's|https://||')

make sure to change the region from YOUR-REGION-HERE to the one you are trying to deploy to. For me this is --region ap-southeast-2 .
