Configuration

aws-cli configuration

Images

Each image is created using one of the base Alpine releases (as seen below) and for both amd/64 and arm/64 architectures.

• Alpine-3.18.0 - latest
• Alpine-3.17.0
• Alpine-3.16.0
• Alpine-3.15.0

To run the images against different platforms, use the --platform switch when evoking your container runtime:

# amd64
docker run --platform linux/amd64 theidledeveloper/aws-cli-alpine:v2-nightly-alpine3.18 /bin/sh -c "aws --version"
# arm64
docker run --platform linux/arm64 theidledeveloper/aws-cli-alpine:v2-nightly-alpine3.18 /bin/sh -c "aws --version"

Release Versions

Versioned released are created when a new version is tagged in aws/aws-cli/tags.

Image Name	Details
theidledeveloper/aws-cli-alpine:2.x.x-alpine3.18 theidledeveloper/aws-cli-alpine:2.x.x	Specific version with an alpine 3.18 base operating system. This is also deemed latest.
theidledeveloper/aws-cli-alpine:2.x.x-alpine3.17	Specific version with an alpine 3.17 base operating system
theidledeveloper/aws-cli-alpine:2.x.x-alpine3.16	Specific version with an alpine 3.16 base operating system
theidledeveloper/aws-cli-alpine:2.x.x-alpine3.15	Specific version with an alpine 3.15 base operating system

Nightly Images

Nightly builds are created from the latest commit at aws/aws-cli/tree/v2 for each alpine version listed below.

Image Name	Details
theidledeveloper/aws-cli-alpine:v2-nightly-alpine3.18 theidledeveloper/aws-cli-alpine:v2-nightly
theidledeveloper/aws-cli-alpine:v2-nightly-alpine3.17
theidledeveloper/aws-cli-alpine:v2-nightly-alpine3.16
theidledeveloper/aws-cli-alpine:v2-nightly-alpine3.15

Build Locally

The image makes use of ARG instructions to allow the use of a single Dockerfile but build images with different base image versions of aws-cli tags. To properly supply the image ARGs pass in ALPINE_VERSION and AWS_CLI_VERSION using the --build-arg flag. Alpine image versions can be found at alpine dockerhub but also need to be cross checked with python alpine as this image is used to build the aws-cli from source. You can also find the available aws-cli tags here.

To build an alpine 3.18+ aws-cli version 2.11.20 use below:

docker build --build-arg ALPINE_VERSION=3.18 --build-arg AWS_CLI_VERSION=2.11.20 -t aws-cli-alpine:2.11.20 .

To build an alpine 3.17 aws-cli version 2.9.8 use below:

docker build --build-arg ALPINE_VERSION=3.17 --build-arg AWS_CLI_VERSION=2.9.8 -t aws-cli-alpine:2.9.8 .
