# start-amazon-cloudwatch-agent is the canonical entrypoint. It reads the
# TOML config translated by config-translator from the JSON config the
# operator wrote, then exec's /opt/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/bin/amazon-cloudwatch-agent
# with the right -config args. Running the bare agent binary without args
# (the previous ExecStart) dies immediately with
# `E! Error running agent: no config file specified`, causing systemd to
# restart the unit every 15s until we finally write a config AND run
# the config-translator step ourselves.
#
# Paths: AWS's upstream packaging installs everything under
# /opt/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/; we mirror that in src_install.
