Inject AWS Codebuild Environment Variables into Dockerfile

Is there a way to pass AWS Codebuild environment variables into a Dockerfile? I'd like to be able to pull from ECR like this:

FROM $My_AWS_ACCOUNT.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/someimage:latest

Where $My_AWS_ACCOUNT references an environment variables within my codebuild project.

Yet another amazingly annoying thing in Docker that doesn't actually need to be this difficult but for some reason is supremely complicated and/or non-intuitive.

command line:

docker build --build-arg My_AWS_ACCOUNT=${My_AWS_ACCOUNT}

Dockerfile:

ARG My_AWS_ACCOUNT
FROM ${My_AWS_ACCOUNT}.dkr.ecr.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/someimage:latest

Yes, you can use FROM ${My_AWS_ACCOUNT}.xxx. My_AWS_ACCOUNT should be passed as an argument to the docker build. This is how I would do it:

ARG My_AWS_ACCOUNT=SOME_DEFAULT_IMAGE FROM ${My_AWS_ACCOUNT}.xxx

When you build: docker build --build-arg My_AWS_ACCOUNT=${My_AWS_ACCOUNT}
