cimg/aws

Sections

cimg/aws is a Docker image created by CircleCI with continuous delivery and deployment pipelines in mind. It contains the AWS CLI, related tools, and is based on the cimg/deploy image. Each tag is a date-based snapshot.

Getting Started

This image can be used with the CircleCI docker executor. For example:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 jobs: build: docker: - image: cimg/aws:2024.03 steps: - checkout - run: aws --version

In the above example, the CircleCI AWS Docker image is used for the primary container. You can now use all of the tools pre-installed in this image in this job.

How This Image Works

This image is published on a monthly basis. Each month, we'll update the main tools to newer versions as they are available.

Tagging Scheme

This image has the following tagging scheme:

cimg/aws:YYYY.MM.I

The tag will be YYYY.MM.I where YYYY is the 4 digit year, MM is the 2 digit month, and I is the nth release of that month. The last piece there typically will only change when we need to patch an image for that month.
