AWS Cloudwatch Agent in Docker

I am trying to package AWS CloudWatch agent into docker container. The docker build runs into the following error -

Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory

unknown init system

Here is the snippet from Dockerfile -

FROM ubuntu:16.04
RUN \
    apt-get -y update && \
    apt-get -y install wget && \
    apt-get -y install unzip
RUN \
    wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/amazoncloudwatch-agent/linux/amd64/latest/AmazonCloudWatchAgent.zip && \
    unzip AmazonCloudWatchAgent.zip && \
    ./install.sh

What is missing or wrong here?

I noticed that AWS has launched official docker image for the Cloudwatch agent on dockerhub and They are updating it frequently. I am late though, But It may help someone.

https://hub.docker.com/r/amazon/cloudwatch-agent

I notice the documentation has different ways of installing, I wonder if they are both correct. I found another in the EC2 guide that a different method for installing on Ubuntu

RUN \
  curl https://s3.amazonaws.com/aws-cloudwatch/downloads/latest/awslogs-agent-setup.py -O && \
  python ./awslogs-agent-setup.py --region us-east-1
