aws

The AWS CLI v2, from Amazon's official self-contained bundle.

Installs the AWS CLI v2 (aws).

devtools:
  - name: aws

The version field is not used by this recipe.

What it does

Downloads Amazon’s official self-contained bundle for the workstation’s architecture, unpacks it, and runs its installer, which puts aws on the system PATH. Re-running the recipe updates in place rather than failing on an existing install.

Debian and Ubuntu only

The bundle links against glibc and has no musl build. On Alpine this devtool fails with an explicit message.

Example

packages:
  - unzip            # the recipe installs it if missing, but pinning it is harmless
devtools:
  - name: aws
  - name: passthrough-www-browser   # relays SSO login URLs to your laptop browser

Notes

  • Authenticating aws is a runtime step inside the workstation; Ringleader does not inject cloud credentials into a workstation.
  • The workstation is considered to have this devtool once aws resolves on PATH.
