Description

Amazon Linux 2 is the Linux distribution which is widely used by projects running on AWS.
It would be nice to have Amazon Linux 2 based container for Flink in such cases so it's possible to standardize the AWS running product on a single Linux distribution.

I currently have a prototype of such a container which we're verifying to work.
And I'm ready to donate the code as soon as it's completed.
It requires just minor changes related to packages installation and jemalloc library location in the docker-entrypoint.sh
