CircleCI Orbs AWS ECR Example

CircleCI Orbs are shareable packages of configuration elements, including jobs, commands, and executors. CircleCI provides certified orbs, along with 3rd-party orbs authored by CircleCI partners. It is best practice to first evaluate whether any of these existing orbs will help you in your configuration workflow. Refer to the CircleCI Orbs Registry for the complete list of certified orbs.
