<p>You are on the right track. Yes, this should be an automated process from Git push or when someone merge a Pull Request.</p>

The term you are looking for is Continuous Deployment (CD)

My question is:
how can I automate this process? I have an script to push dockerimage to AWS through ecr.

You are on the right track. Yes, this should be an automated process from Git push or when someone merge a Pull Request.

An important aspect of this is that this "automated process" should be on a dedicated system - such that it is *repeatable* in a *consistent* way. Typically this is called a "Continuous Integration Server" or just "Build Server".

Some popular choices for this kind of process:

* [Jenkins](https://www.jenkins.io/) - old but popular
* [Tekton](https://tekton.dev/) - Kubernetes native - but still in development
* [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/features/actions) - probably most interesting if your Git repo is on GitHub
* [Bitbucket Pipelines](https://bitbucket.org/product/features/pipelines) - probably most interesting if your Git repo is Bitbucket
* [AWS CodeBuild](https://aws.amazon.com/codebuild/) - limited but may be interesting if you use AWS
* [GitLab CI](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/) - probably most interesting if your Git repo is on GitLab

What you need to do is to configure your Git repository system (e.g. GitHub, Bitbucket, Gitlab or AWS CodeCommit) to initiate Pipelines on the Build system (a product of those listed above)
