**Example 1: To describe images in a public registry repository**

The following ``describe-images`` example describes imagesDetails in a repository named ``project-a/nginx-web-app`` in a public registry. ::

    aws ecr-public describe-images \
        --repository-name project-a/nginx-web-app \
        --region us-east-1

Output::

**Example 2: To describe images from the repository by sort imageTags & imagePushedAt**

The following ``describe-images`` example describe images within repository named `project-a/nginx-web-app` in a public registry. ::

    aws ecr-public describe-images \
        --repository-name project-a/nginx-web-app \
        --query 'sort_by(imageDetails,& imagePushedAt)[*].imageTags[*]' \
        --output text

Output::

    temp3.0 latest
    temp1.0
    temp2.0

**Example 3: To describe images from the repository to generate the last 2 image tags pushed in the repository**

The following ``describe-images`` example gets imagetags details from the repository named ``project-a/nginx-web-app`` in a public registry and queries the result to display only the first two records. ::

    aws ecr-public describe-images \
        --repository-name project-a/nginx-web-app  \
        --query 'sort_by(imageDetails,& imagePushedAt)[*].imageTags[*] | [0:2]' \
        --output text

Output::

    temp3.0 latest
    temp1.0
