Fix aws-cli-v2 Installation Issue on Alpine Docker
The AWS CLI v2 installation on Alpine Linux may fail to properly set up the executable in the PATH due to missing dependencies or incorrect installation methods. Alpine uses musl instead of glibc, which can lead to compatibility issues if the installation process does not account for this.

Update Alpine and Install Dependencies
Ensure that your Alpine image is up to date and install necessary dependencies for AWS CLI v2.
bashapk update && apk add --no-cache curl unzip - 2
Download AWS CLI v2
Download the AWS CLI v2 installation script directly from AWS and ensure it is executable.
bashcurl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip" && unzip awscliv2.zip - 3
Install AWS CLI v2
Run the installation script to install AWS CLI v2. This will place the 'aws' command in /usr/local/bin.
bashsudo ./aws/install - 4
Verify Installation
Check that the AWS CLI is installed correctly and is accessible from the command line.
bashaws --version - 5
Clean Up
Remove the downloaded files to keep the Docker image clean.
bashrm -rf awscliv2.zip aws/
Validation
Run 'aws --version' to confirm that the AWS CLI v2 is installed and accessible. The command should return the version number without errors.
