Post #2951072

Version 1 of the AWS CLI is coming up on end of support, so we're supposed to move to AWSCLIv2. Sadly it's no longer pure python, but uses the AWS CRT underneath. With a little bit of (decidedly non-trivial) effort I've managed to persuade it to build on illumos, and verified that simple queries of EC2 and S3 work. (This is one of the things that prompted my earlier comment about just packaging up a whole venv.)
