## Rational
14+
15+
This image is based on the official
16+
[amazon/aws-cli](https://hub.docker.com/r/amazon/aws-cli) image. The
17+
main difference is that default entrypoint of the official image is
18+
`aws` because it is the only command that this image is meant to run.
19+
On the other hand, this image's default entrypoint is a shell (`bash`)
20+
in which you can run not only `aws` but also other commands typically
21+
useful when building a more advanced CI/CD pipeline. For example this
22+
image includes the `jq` utility often very useful to process the
23+
output of the `aws` command.
