Getting the latest image tag from ACR Repository

Question

I need to fetch the latest image tag from Azure Container Registry (ACR) with a bash command in my pipeline and use that tag for container deployment. Here is what I could find with Azure cli:

  $ az acr repository show-tags --name myacr --repository myrepo --top 1

However this returns me the oldest tag.

How can I get the latest pushed tag from ACR repo?

Answer 1

See this doc: az acr repository show-tags and its parameters description:

Order the items in the results. Default to alphabetical order of names.

Based on your command, it is ordering by alphabetical order of names since you didn't specify the --orderby.

Add the parameter --orderby time_desc to make the result ordered by time.
