Prebuilt Images

Size is over 5 GB (too chubby, I know — see the To-Do section).

Images are available in the following repositories:

• Docker Hub: docker.io/erhhung/al2023-devops
• GitHub Container Registry: ghcr.io/erhhung/al2023-devops

Version information about the installed components can be found inside the Docker image at /root/.versions.json.

To-Do

The current "All-in-One" image is too bloated, so specialized editions should be created, like a slimmed-down image just for CI/CD pipelines, and a separate image for launching ad-hoc containers for manual administration and debugging. It's also unlikely that a single CI/CD pipeline stage would need all language environments, as Python and Go are especially chubby.
