What are the Hardware requirements for AWS CLI V2?

-1

Why doesn't Amazon specify exactly how much free space will be required by this software? This is kindergarten stuff that's being omitting here, guys.

What are the hardware requirements/resource allocations that the AWS CLI will need?

Our containers that will run AWS CLI do not have any need for python or other AWS dependencies, so those need to be included in the total space required.

Installing on a server we're about to 86 and it looks like ~200MB which seems like a lot more than what it should need...

The AWS CLI v2 is a command-line tool that can be installed on various operating systems, including Windows, MacOS, and Linux. The specific hardware requirements will depend on the operating system and the version of the AWS CLI that you are using.

Here are some general guidelines for the hardware requirements for the AWS CLI v2:

CPU: AWS CLI v2 is a command-line tool and does not require a high-performance CPU. However, it may require more CPU resources if it is running commands that involve large amounts of data or if it is running multiple commands at the same time.

Memory: AWS CLI v2 does not require a large amount of memory, but it may require more memory if it is running commands that involve large amounts of data or if it is running multiple commands at the same time.

Disk space: AWS CLI v2 requires a minimal amount of disk space to be installed, but it may require more disk space if it is used to download large amounts of data or if it is used to upload large amounts of data.

Regarding the space that it will take on the containers, AWS does not provide an exact amount of space required since it can vary depending on the specific usage and the number of commands that will be executed, it is also important to note that AWS CLI v2 has a slimmed-down design that will minimize the storage requirements and it is designed to be highly portable.

AWS also provides the option of installing the CLI v2 on a Lambda function, which will eliminate the need for disk space on the container.

It is important to monitor the disk space usage of the container running the AWS CLI v2 and make sure that it has enough free space to perform its tasks. It is also worth noting that you can use the command aws --version to check the version of the AWS CLI v2 that you have installed and the aws configure list to see the current configuration.
