The experience with the cdk import command is really nice and takes away a lot of manual steps. But if you start with a new stack as in my case, deploy an empty stack first before importing resources. The error message is very misleading... #awscdk

Hopefully #awswishlist works here as well: I want that the ECR PullThrough cache makes the `library` path for official images transparent Currently it fails if the library prefix is missing but tools often allow only to set one prefix and that breaks for official images.

Two docker pull commands for ECR. One with the library prefix works while the other fails. But both should work ideally.
