aws-cli-dev-env

Docker based development environment in Amazon Linux with AWS CLI, Python and other tools added

Build the Dockerfile

docker build -t <tag-name>:<version> .

Run the container

docker container run -it <tag-name>:<version> /bin/bash

e.g. docker container run -it aws-dev-env:v0.2 /bin/bash

You can now use the development environment from your terminal or connect to it with visual studio code (Use the Remote-Containers extension to attach to the running container).

If you want to mount a working directory as a volume that's straight forward also, e.g. docker container run -v /mnt/c/Users/user/path/to/folder/:/tmp -it aws-dev-env:v0.2 /bin/bash Essentially the command above mounts the absolute path on the host machine to a folder in the container storage (folder will be created if it doesn't exist already)

List your containers

docker ps -a

Remove containers once stopped

Just add the --rm flag when you run the container

To clean up previous containers you've exited previously $ docker rm $(docker ps -q -f status=exited)

To clean up any dangling images $ docker rmi $(docker images -f "dangling=true" -q)

Set up AWS Azure Login (if your organisation federates it's AWS accounts against Azure AD)
