Problem

I read Issue #3529 and #3291 and saw those were closed, with the only reaction hinting it was 'not that complicated'. However, the comment also acknowledged that doing this yourself would run the risk of being out of date. Apart from exactly that point, I would also like to point out that, for commercial users, having an official Amazon image is hugely preferential to "/aws-cli:latest". In my case, I would be using this in a Google Cloud Build because it is far superior than AWS CodeBuild.
