    An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

    Rocky 8 Available for Amazon EC2 G6 Instances?

    Reviewed on May 28, 2024
    Purchase verified by AWS

    When is the EC2 G6 instance going to be available for Rocky 8? We have an HPC environment and require the new EC2 G6 instances to be available with the Rocky 8 OS. Is this possible?

    Replaced CentOS

    I used this to replace my CentOS environment. If you're thinking of migrating from RHEL or CentOS, Rocky Linux is a great replacement.

    Why is the smallest instance type a t3a.small!?

    Reviewed on Jan 05, 2023
    Purchase verified by AWS

    This AMI does not support the smaller instance types that a large amount of people use. I know Rocky Linux 8 technically supports it because they are available in the Community AMI section but the Marketplace is the only place I really trust to deploy AMI's from using official AMI's from Rocky Linux themselves. This is a big disappointment and we are meeting as a company about this now and whether we want to adopt Rocky Linux or Alma/Amazon Linux instead.

    This AMI only supports a t3a.small at $0.019/hr which is 3-4x the price of the smallest instance types that CentOS 8, RHEL 8, Alma and others support. Rocky Linux team please get this addressed or reply with the reasoning

    I've used CentOS in the past, but since CentOS 8 has died, I've been looking for a replacement and Rocky Linux is perfect

    Flawless replacement for Centos 8

    We have implemented Rocky Linux to replace Centos 8 servers and experienced a seamless transition. All our internal Centos docs and guides worked for Rocky as well.
