🖼️ Create base image for tooling

[jacobwoffenden]

User Story

As an Analytical Platform engineer
I want one single base image for tooling that contains common software
So that we keep our codebases DRY

Value / Purpose

Our VS Code does not use a COTS image, rather we build it from scratch, adding in tools like AWS CLI, Miniconda and NVIDIA drivers.

As we start to rebuilt JupyterLab and RStudio, they will also be packaged with this software and we'll have to maintain it in three places

Hypothesis

If we create a common tooling image
Then we can just layer IDEs on top

Create a common tooling base image with:

• AWS CLI
• NVIDIA drivers
• NodeJS LTS
• R 4.x
• Miniconda
• .NET
• Amazon Corretto
• Ollama
