Amazon cli image doesn't work with Gitlab CI

I'm trying to run the aws command (to invalidate cloudfront) using official aws image and have the following config of .gitlab-ci.yml:

static-invalidation:
  <<: *production-env
  stage: static_invalidation
  image: amazon/aws-cli:latest
  variables:
    AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: $CLOUDFRONT_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
    AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: $CLOUDFRONT_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
  script:
    - aws cloudfront create-invalidation --distribution-id $CLOUDFRONT_DISTRIBUTION --invalidation-batch file://deployment/configs/inv-batch.json

The job fails with the following error:

Using docker image sha256:00cf4f100b03d1b26e93cce377c1311c34efa753e379cd5c6ea5d458337cbaab for amazon/aws-cli:2.2.17 with digest amazon/aws-cli@sha256:39e9898fc43f618636a2190f82b9babcdc618d054e66b49c9959b9cd23285ade ...

To see help text, you can run:
  aws help
  aws <command> help
  aws <command> <subcommand> help
aws: error: argument command: Invalid choice, valid choices are:
accessanalyzer                           | acm                                     
acm-pca                                  | alexaforbusiness
...
ERROR: Job failed: exit code 252

Any ideas why it's not working? When I run the command locally it works.

Remember to set the entrypoint to /bin/sh -c to keep your container alive and run your script in one line...

  image:
    name: amazon/aws-cli:2.11.18
    entrypoint: ["/bin/sh", "-c"]
  script:
    - |
      echo "Deploying API to EKS..."
      aws eks --region $AWS_EKS_REGION...

amazon/aws-cli docker has set entrypoint to aws as it's expected to be executed as

$ docker run amazon/aws-cli cloudfront create-invalidation --distribution-id ...

but gitlab expects entry point to shell so it can then execute script commands.

Check out gitlab documentation: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/docker/using_docker_images.html#available-settings-for-image

You will find there how to override docker image entrypoint.

Working config is:

image:
    name: amazon/aws-cli:2.2.18
    entrypoint: [""]
