How do I deploy a Docker Lambda with the correct image tags?

Context When deploying a Docker Lambda function using Terraform, you need to specify the correct image tags in both vars.tf and common-services.tfvars.json files. However, the image tag is only available after pushing the Docker image to Amazon ECR (Elastic Container Registry). Answer To successfully deploy a Docker Lambda with the correct image tags, follow this sequence: Build your Docker image locally Tag the Docker image with your desired version Push the tagged image to Amazon ECR Update your Terraform configuration files with the image tag: Update the image tag in vars.tf Update the image tag in common-services.tfvars.json Deploy your Lambda function using Terraform Important: You must complete the Docker image build and push process before updating the Terraform configuration files, as the image tag needs to exist in ECR for the deployment to succeed.
