Hey @jjrdevspace01 👋 thanks for raising this! I was able to confirm this behavior using the provided steps. Marking as a bug 🙂

> docker run -it node:14-alpine sh
/ # npm i -g @aws-amplify/cli --unsafe-perm=true
/usr/local/bin/amplify -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@aws-amplify/cli/lib/run.js

Interesting. I'm seeing several errors when I try to run the compiled binary directly on that docker image:

~/.amplify/bin # /root/.amplify/bin/amplify --version
Error loading shared library ld-linux-x86-64.so.2: No such file or directory (needed by /root/.amplify/bin/amplify)
Error relocating /root/.amplify/bin/amplify: gnu_get_libc_version: symbol not found

Error relocating /root/.amplify/bin/amplify: getcontext: symbol not found
Error relocating /root/.amplify/bin/amplify: __libc_stack_end: symbol not found

It looks like in order to execute our binary, more system dependencies are required.

As a short term workaround, you can either continue using v7 or install v8 via npm i -g @aws-amplify/cli-internal. I don't generally recommend using the internal package, but it does happen to work in alpine docker.

Amplify cli not working. What could be the reason? I have tried to look for solutions online unsuccessfully.

Here is the error

Platform with type "Windows_NT" and architecture "ia32" is not supported by @aws-amplify/cli.}
