aws-cli VS docker-lambda

The AWS CLI is a must-have tool if your team relies on Amazon Web Services. It lets you effortlessly interact with AWS services, orchestrate resource management, and automate tasks from the comfort of your terminal. Once you get used to the tool, you'll notice how convenient and quick it is to fit into your processes – especially compared to going through AWS's web-based user interface.

Just for your consideration, the network effect is very real with package managers, too:

https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=23.05&show=awscli2 is 2.11.27 (even on the "unstable" channel), versus https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/awscli#default that is 2.12.1, which correctly is the most current (https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/tags)

s3fs allows Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD to mount an S3 bucket via FUSE(Filesystem in Userspace). s3fs makes you operate files and directories in S3 bucket like a local file system. s3fs preserves the native object format for files, allowing use of other tools like AWS CLI.

AFAIK it's still a Python package: https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/tree/2.11.6

Check CLI version, it looks like the earliest version that had DEEP_ARCHIVE support was 1.16.133 (https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/commit/55efab102f774ef17bf51ad32e939e4e03a5ff8a)

And this is the init_localstack.sh file content, a unique thing about localstack its that you can move all strings like an aws-cli tool, also the container deletes all the content and config once the container stops, so the script file must create all the resources that you need from Localstack

It can? I created a pull request for this that hasn't been merged yet: https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/pull/6365

Step 2: Push a container from your local machine to ECR. Currently, I use sample python lambda docker from https://github.com/lambci/docker-lambda.git

You can see the following projects for some examples of using this plugin to build a layer. They all leverage Docker and the docker-lambda images to compile for AWS’s Lambda environment on any operating system:

I end up using Lambda a lot so lambci is very useful for local testing: https://github.com/lambci/docker-lambda

There are kind souls in this world who created this: https://github.com/lambci/docker-lambda

If all you need is the ability to run a lambda function's code locally you might interested in docker-lambda[1]. I haven't really used localstack or SAM but a couple of years ago when we needed to run some lambda functions locally for development docker-lambda worked well enough.

Docker Lambda — Docker Lambda is a tool which tries to replicate the AWS Lambda environment as closely as possible, but within a Docker container. Docker Lambda has support for most of the AWS Lambda run times.

Want to emulate AWS environments? Try docker-lambda.
