Hi @r-heimann thanks for reaching out. I brought this feature request up for discussion with the team, and they recommended reaching out to the Amazon Linux team on GitHub with this request: https://github.com/amazonlinux/amazon-linux-2023. Several of the things you listed like |

Agreed. I just wrote a simple little entrypoint script for ECR to pull and format some secrets out of SecretsManager. I thought "My needs are simple, I'll just use the cli instead of writing something with the SDK". The AWS CLI alone added over 475MB to my container. 75% of my image is now just the AWS CLI, just so I can pull a secret from SecretsManager I don't want to run through ENV vars. Being able to just install just the parts I need would also be great, in my case I just need the SecretsManager commands. However, given the migration from For simple operations installing an entire development framework like Python or Ruby to utilize the SDKs shouldn't be the lighter weight option than using the purpose-built cli.

Describe the feature
It would be great if there would be somekind of "minimal" package, which only installs the absolut minimum in order to use AWS-CLI2. Using the new
