⁠How to use this image

This image is designed to be used with a CI/CD system such as GitLab CI. It provides shell commands for the bundled tools that can be invoked by CI/CD jobs. Which of the tools you use and how you use them is entirely down to the project you are using them with.

⁠Python tool layout

Each Python tool lives in its own virtualenv under /opt/venvs/ so that tools with conflicting dependencies (such as cfn-lint and sceptre) can be installed side by side. Their commands are symlinked into /usr/local/bin, so they can be run as normal without activating anything.

The python3 and pip on PATH come from the /opt/venvs/default virtualenv, which contains the Kubernetes Python client. CI jobs can pip install additional packages into it directly. Note that packages installed this way are not visible to cfn-lint or sceptre; in particular, sceptre runs Python templates with its own interpreter, which already includes troposphere.

To add or update a tool, edit the corresponding venvs/<name>/requirements.txt (or add a new directory to create a new virtualenv).
