Excellent! Thank you for this. I was close to writing something similar to get this running on Flatcar.

Hi! Sorry for the dumb question, but do you have any suggestion on the way it should be run? I was thinking about mounting my $HOME/.aws, but appart from this I'm a bit clueless

Can this be used to run an ssm agent locally? for local application development.
