Looked up the issue and it was cloud-init, not apt that failed. Here are the details: https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues/3678

In one sentence: "Installing the latest aws-cli on an image is preventing new AMIs based on that image from booting due to the above issue with urllib3."

While this specific issue wouldn't affect docker images since you normally don't run cloud-init on them, it's just luck that it wasn't some other utility affected instead. Next time it can affect docker images too.

Why do you have cloud-init in a container?
