I have a few Raspberry Pis around the house doing various tasks and wanted to automate Docker image builds using AWS CodeBuild. I assumed I could build on the Graviton ARM instances and run on the Pi. It works with the raspbian/stretch base image, but the Raspbian images are not actively maintained. When I switched to alpine base image, I started getting this error on the Pi. standard_init_linux.go:207: exec user process caused “exec format error”

RSQL is a command-line client for Redshift. Unlike the psql command-line, RSQL has control flow commands (IF, ELSE, GOTO, etc.) that are useful for ETL jobs. I want to run RSQL in a Fargate container so I call it from Step Functions ETL workflow. Overall this was fairly straight forward, but I’ll document it anyway. Setup In my use case, I am converting hundreds of Teradata BTEQ scripts to RSQL using the Schema Conversion Tool (SCT).

In the post, I will show you how to build a Linux container in Visual Studio running on a EC2 Windows Instance. The AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio allows you to deploy your project to Elastic Container Service (ECS) Fargate and recently as a container image to AWS Lambda among other options. In both of these cases, you must build a Linux container from Visual Studio or the dotnet command line.
