Precompiled binary for Linux fully linked and executable on any x86 Linux distro including Alpine Linux.
Precompiled binary for MacOSX.
Motivation
Need to populate fleet's metadata with the instance tags.
As a consequence:
curl and bash are not enough to read tags
Can't install python and awscli on CoreOS
Cant wait for Docker to be ready and run a containerised awscli
Lazy download of a single executable calls on the CLI works.
