AWS CLI fails inside docker after boto3 upgrade #425

@hallelshohat

Description

@hallelshohat

The AWS CLI inside the CloudGoat Docker image is currently broken due to a boto3 version upgrade.

Running any AWS CLI command results in the following error:

KeyError: 'opsworkscm'

Root Cause

This issue appears after boto3 was upgraded from:

1.37.15 → 1.42.72

The newer boto3 version introduces a mismatch with the AWS CLI dependencies (likely botocore/service definitions), causing the CLI to fail when loading available services.

Steps to Reproduce

Run the CloudGoat Docker image

Execute any AWS CLI command, e.g.:

aws sts get-caller-identity

Observe failure with:

KeyError: 'opsworkscm'

##Expected Behavior

AWS CLI commands should execute normally and return valid responses.

Actual Behavior

AWS CLI crashes with a KeyError related to opsworkscm.

Suggested Fix

Pin boto3 to a compatible version (e.g. 1.37.15), or
Align boto3, botocore, and AWS CLI versions to compatible releases
