    AL2 based AMI Image

    Reviewed on Jan 14, 2025
    Purchase verified by AWS

    this help us to deploy via Service Catalog.
    that is very helpful.
    but currently, AMI image is build based on AL2, not 2023.
    AL2 is no longer supported after July 2025.

    so we want Tenable to provide AL2023 based nessus AMI.
