initiate_layer_upload

ECRPublic.Client.initiate_layer_upload(**kwargs)

Notifies Amazon ECR that you intend to upload an image layer.

When an image is pushed, the InitiateLayerUpload API is called once for each image layer that hasn't already been uploaded. Whether an image layer uploads is determined by the BatchCheckLayerAvailability API action.

Note

This operation is used by the Amazon ECR proxy and is not generally used by customers for pulling and pushing images. In most cases, you should use the docker CLI to pull, tag, and push images.
