Installing awscli on alpine Linux

After installing awscli v2 on alpine Linux, the following is what happened:

Launch alpine

$docker run-it --rm alpine sh
/ # apk -- update add curl
fetch http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.11/main/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz
fetch http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.11/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz

Installing AWS CLI Version 2 on Linux causes the error ./aws/install:line78:/aws/dist/aws:not found.

/# curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip"

/ #./aws/install
./aws/install:line 78:/aws/dist/aws:not found
You can now run: /usr/local/bin/aws --version
/ #

Doing the same with Ubuntu did not result in an error.

The immediate answer is that alpine is not operational, and it seems to work if you add glibc.

Prerequisites

Recent distributions of CentOS, Fedora, Ubuntu, Amazon Linux 1, and Amazon Linux 2 support AWS CLI version 2.

The binaries we publish won't work on docker images based on alpine because we're compiling the main glibc.

The aws command was installed as follows, but it seemed to be due to a symbolic link for the relative path.

/#typeaws
aws is /usr/local/bin/aws
/ #ls-l/usr/local/bin/aws
lrwxrwxrwx1 root 37 May 2009:12/usr/local/bin/aws->/usr/local/aws-cli/v2/current/bin/aws
/ #ls-l/usr/local/aws-cli/v2/current/bin/aws
