Description of your changes
This PR modifies the Gitpod configuration to pin a specific base image for the workspace and configure dependencies in it.
Prior to this PR Gitpod was starting a workspace using the latest image available, which in some cases like now it's not desirable. Following the same practices that we use in other areas like dependencies and GitHub Actions, I have changed the configuration so that we are pinning a specific version of a specific Docker image identified by its
sha
number. I got this idea from the Python repository which does the same.The new setup specifies a Dockerfile which uses the base workspace image and builds on top of it. I decided not to use the node image provided by Gitpod because I wanted to customize the setup of the Node.js version manager using
fnm
instead ofnvm
. In doing so I have also moved the SAM CLI install to the Dockerfile.Related issues, RFCs
