Using a new instance of Wordpress on Ubuntu, I installed wp-cli via these instructions. I tried downloading the .phar package, chmodding it, etc.I also tried installing a .deb package. In both cases I get the same errors when running wp plugin update --all --debug:

Success: Plugins already updated.
I've run through the list of support options and I'm still unable to get wp-cli to work properly on AWS Lightsail, aka Bitnami. Looking at the github and wordpress.org forums, I see that lots of users have had some or all of the above errors. I tried all the suggested work-arounds:
wp-config.php: Wrap the ABSPATH line in a conditional.wp-config.php: Move the add_filter() call into a MU plugin.chmod and chown changes.Some of these did make their respective errors go away, but wp still can't update plugins, etc.
Do I need to create the missing files identified in the PHP debug output?
Should I just not use AWS Lightsail/Bitnami? I really need wp-cli, so I'm willing to just move to ec2 or whatever else.

Could you try running the commands as the user daemon?
sudo su -s /bin/bash daemon
This is the user that has permission to write on the server
