⁠Dockerfile Details

The Dockerfile uses a multi-stage build approach to ensure a minimal final image size:

1. Builder Stage:

   • Uses python:3.11-alpine as the base image.
   • Installs necessary build dependencies.
   • Clones the AWS CLI repository and builds it.
   • Removes unnecessary files to reduce the image size.

2. Final Stage:

   • Uses alpine:3.20 as the base image.
   • Installs runtime dependencies (jq, less, groff).
   • Copies the AWS CLI from the builder stage.
   • Sets the environment variables and entry point.
