AlmaLinux 8 Beta
Product Overview
This is the Beta version of the AlmaLinux OS, that is not available anymore. Please use instead the stable version of AlmaLinux 8, that is currently available here: https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B08R14SDQT
Launched with the code-name Project Lenix, AlmaLinux is an open-source, community-driven project that intends to fill the gap left by the demise of the CentOS stable release. AlmaLinux is a 1:1 binary compatible fork of RHEL 8 and it is built by the creators of the established CloudLinux OS.
This is a minimal AlmaLinux 8 Beta image, mainly used as a common base system on top of which other appliances could be built and tested. It contains just enough packages to run within AWS, bring up a SSH Server and allow users to login. Cloud-init, as well as the AlmaLinux security updates available at the release date are included.
Root login is disabled and only the 'ec2-user' account is allowed to connect using ssh public key authentication.
Built using AlmaLinux 'Minimal Install' group of packages and a single 8 GiB instance volume. Both root partition and the corresponding filesystem are automatically extended if selected volume is bigger than the default one.
This AlmaLinux AMI is ENA enabled.
