AWS CLI with PEX
Raw
awscli-pex.md

What is PEX?

build with Docker image... e.g. Ubuntu 14.04

$ docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/src -w /src ubuntu:14.04

Install PEX

ubuntu14# apt update && apt -y install python3 python3-pip && pip3 install pex

Build aws.pex

ubuntu14# pex -r <(echo awscli) -c 'aws' -o aws.pex

Exit Container

ubuntu14# exit

aws.pex works just like the regular CLI

$ docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/src -w /src ubuntu:14.04 ./aws.pex --version
aws-cli/1.15.76 Python/3.4.3 Linux/4.9.93-linuxkit-aufs botocore/1.10.75

Copy aws.pex to any Ubuntu 14.04 which doesn't have Python or PIP installed

scp aws.pex ubuntu.example.com

Install and symlink

sudo mv aws.pex /usr/local/bin
sudo ln -s aws.pex /usr/local/bin/aws
