Create AWS container without programatic access

Question

I need to create a AWS container with ECS. However, I don't have programatic access for push the image in the ECR repository and I don't found other way to create a container.

My question is: Is there another way to create a container without programatic access?

I found a way to upload the image in Amazon S3 (compress the image into a .zip), but I don't know how to use the image after the upload.

Formal (Correct) way: Probably a CodeBuild job that builds the image and pushes it, possibly wrapped up with CodePipeline

Hacky way: Maybe a lambda that pulls the zip, unpacks the image and pushes to ecr? Would definitely not be a pattern you want to house long term but might get the job done?

That isn't going to work. You need to upload the image to ECR, not S3. ECS does not support loading images from S3.

You can't upload images to ECR without programmatic access. It isn't possible to upload images to ECR with only username/password access.
