    Manages an ECR repository lifecycle policy.

    NOTE: Only one aws.ecr.LifecyclePolicy resource can be used with the same ECR repository. To apply multiple rules, they must be combined in the policy JSON.

    NOTE: The AWS ECR API seems to reorder rules based on rulePriority. If you define multiple rules that are not sorted in ascending rulePriority order in the this provider code, the resource will be flagged for recreation every deployment.

    Example Usage

    Policy on untagged image

    using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using Pulumi;
using Aws = Pulumi.Aws;

return await Deployment.RunAsync(() => 
{
    var foo = new Aws.Ecr.Repository("foo");

    var foopolicy = new Aws.Ecr.LifecyclePolicy("foopolicy", new()
    {
        Repository = foo.Name,
        Policy = @"{
    ""rules"": [
        {
            ""rulePriority"": 1,
            ""description"": ""Expire images older than 14 days"",
            ""selection"": {
                ""tagStatus"": ""untagged"",

    LifecyclePolicy Resource Properties

    To learn more about resource properties and how to use them, see Inputs and Outputs in the Architecture and Concepts docs.

    Inputs

    In Python, inputs that are objects can be passed either as argument classes or as dictionary literals.

    The LifecyclePolicy resource accepts the following input properties:

    Policy string | string
    The policy document. This is a JSON formatted string. See more details about Policy Parameters in the official AWS docs.
    Repository string
    Name of the repository to apply the policy.
    Policy string | string
    The policy document. This is a JSON formatted string. See more details about Policy Parameters in the official AWS docs.
    Repository string
    Name of the repository to apply the policy.
    policy String | String
    The policy document. This is a JSON formatted string. See more details about Policy Parameters in the official AWS docs.
    repository String
    Name of the repository to apply the policy.
    policy string | LifecyclePolicyDocument
    The policy document. This is a JSON formatted string. See more details about Policy Parameters in the official AWS docs.
    repository string
    Name of the repository to apply the policy.
    policy str | str
    The policy document. This is a JSON formatted string. See more details about Policy Parameters in the official AWS docs.
    repository str
    Name of the repository to apply the policy.
    policy String |
    The policy document. This is a JSON formatted string. See more details about Policy Parameters in the official AWS docs.
    repository String
    Name of the repository to apply the policy.

    Outputs

    All input properties are implicitly available as output properties. Additionally, the LifecyclePolicy resource produces the following output properties:

    Id string
    The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
    RegistryId string
    The registry ID where the repository was created.
    Id string
    The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
    RegistryId string
    The registry ID where the repository was created.
    id String
    The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
    registryId String
    The registry ID where the repository was created.
    id string
    The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
    registryId string
    The registry ID where the repository was created.
    id str
    The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
    registry_id str
    The registry ID where the repository was created.
    id String
    The provider-assigned unique ID for this managed resource.
    registryId String
