Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm currently having to do all this to have this layer in my docker image:

FROM --platform=$BUILDPLATFORM public.ecr.aws/lambda/java:17.al2023 AS otel-layer
ADD --checksum=sha256:9a6723de27846ccc7e1691a464733ba40b62622171060dbff06698e346b7d3de \
    https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-lambda/releases/download/layer-javaagent%2F0.21.0/opentelemetry-javawrapper-layer.zip /tmp/layer.zip
RUN dnf install -y unzip && unzip -q /tmp/layer.zip -d /tmp/layer

FROM public.ecr.aws/lambda/java:17.al2023
COPY --from=otel-layer --chmod=755 /tmp/layer/ /opt/

Describe the solution you'd like
If this project publishes a tar.gz version of the artifact in the release, we could have a much simpler version:

FROM public.ecr.aws/lambda/java:17.al2023
ADD https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-lambda/releases/download/layer-javaagent%2F0.21.0/opentelemetry-javawrapper-layer.tar.gz /opt/
