Alex Samorukov is the mastermind behind this implementation. He figured out how AWS patches the openvpn client and created the first implementations. Be sure to read his blog on for more details.

Botify Labs maintains the .patch files for more recent versions of OpenVPN than what are available originally in Alex's repository.

kpalang/aws-vpn-client-docker

Kaur Palang packaged the work of Alex Samorukov and Botify Labs into a Docker container format, making OpenVPN compatible with AWS VPN SAML while providing consistent deployment across environments.

kpalang/aws-vpn-client-docker

Papuna Gagnidze packaged the work of Alex Samorukov, Botify Labs and Kaur Palang into a Docker container format, and embeds the OpenVPN profile directly into the Docker image at build time instead of using runtime volume mounts, avoiding SELinux context conflicts while maintaining security isolation. Tested on Fedora Asahi Linux.
