- Use the image as your builder image to be loaded into the runner during the build step initiation and enable DinD service. To acheive this please add the following snippet to your pipeline code i.e. gitlab-ci.yaml.
docker:
stage: create-docker-image
image: asorour/docker-aws-cli
services:
- docker:dind
variables:
DOCKER_DRIVER: overlay # For better build performance
script:
- echo 'Your build scripts goes here and you can use all of the above toolset'
