Describe the bug

A clear and concise description of what the bug is. using the RUN yum -y install curl This fails with the following error: https://yum.corretto.aws/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#60 - "SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate"

I tried also installing tar and gzip all had same issue, so I suggest it must be with yum

Sorry you are running in to an issue. I was not able to reproduce the issue with the Dockerfile provided.

By any chance are you in a locked down network environment? Are you able to resolve yum.corretto.aws from the host you are building the image on?

If it is a problem resolving corretto.aws domain but the amzn2-core repo is working ,you can update the Dockerfile to

FROM --platform=linux/amd64 amazoncorretto:21
# Downloading and installing Maven
# - Define a constant with the version of maven you want to install
ARG MAVEN_VERSION=3.6.3
# - Create the directories, download maven, validate the download, install it, remove downloaded file and set links
RUN mkdir -p /usr/share/maven /usr/share/maven/ref
RUN yum -y --disablerepo AmazonCorretto install curl tar gzip git

We leave the Corretto.aws repo configured as some customer want to be able to update a running docker image.
