AWS CLI Dockerfile

Description

Docker image containing the aws cli inside, based on Alpine linux.

Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/camilbradea/aws-cli-docker/

GitHub: https://github.com/bradeac/aws-cli-docker

Motivation

• No official aws-cli docker image
• Available aws-cli docker images expect one AWS CLI command as a parameter. After the command is being executed, the container is stopped. For each AWS CLI command, a new container is created.
• Using this image, you can pass a script, which enables you to do more complex stuff, without the need to start a container for each AWS CLI command.

AWS CLI Version

• Latest 1.xx.xx

Build

docker build -t image-name:version .

Run

docker run -it --rm \
--name container-name \
# mounting a volume is optional. Might be a good idea if you have some AWS Lambda functions code that you want to deploy
-v ${PWD}:/mount-location \
-e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID_GOES_HERE" \
-e AWS_DEFAULT_REGION="AWS_DEFAULT_REGION_GOES_HERE" \
-e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_GOES_HERE" \
image-name:version \
ash /path/to/script/to/be/run/on/container/startup.sh # see example of script below

Example of usage in ash script (updating AWS Lambda function code)

cd path/to/lambdas
$LAMBDAS=$(ls)
for filename in $LAMBDAS
do
fileBaseName="$(basename "$filename" .js)"
functionName="lambda_cognito_"$fileBaseName
zip $fileBaseName.zip $filename
aws lambda update-function-configuration --function-name $functionName --handler $fileBaseName".handler"
aws lambda update-function-code --function-name $functionName --zip-file "fileb://"$zipName
rm $zipName
done
