Please support new instance types
Centos 7 is great but currently, we can not use Centos on some new instance types like m5zn, m6i...or metal instances, please add them to the supported os list.
Update of AMI (cloud-init version 19.4)
Any plans on releasing new AMI with latest Centos release? Especially interested in cloud-init update, as current cloud-init version doesn't support IMDSv2.
"DeleteOnTermination": false for root volume.
Hello,
could you kindly explain why you enable "DeleteOnTermination": false by-defeault for you amis? Why you thinks that this is a good idia?
TIA.
Improving!
Glad to see the CentOS team publishing images more frequently as well as adopting better practices for cloud images!
One annoyance still remains that prevents me from recommending these images: the fact that the root EBS volume is not set to "delete on terminate" which is pretty standard for all other AMIs. Without this, my users leave tons of unused EBS volumes laying around which drives up my AWS bill
Very useful
Good OS overall. Specifically for this product, clicking on the Wiki URL gave me a "page not found" message. But I'm not a first-time CentOS user, so it didn't bother me.
Create a swap file!
Please be aware this instance is pretty much useless with less than 1GB of ram unless you create a swap file. This process is really simple and all you need is a 2GB swap partition to get anything done. Currently running nano for all my purposes.
Only issue is kdump won't start on instances with < 2GB ram
Only issue is kdump won't start on instances with < 2GB ram, tracked this down to the crashkernel=auto setting. Changing to pre-determined value seemed to allow kdump to start successfully.
Well version
trying for the poc enivorment and it is a better version for me.
but i am not sure some billing question will could release on the product pages.
Can't really ask for more
CentOS 7 provides you with DJB's curve25519 support, a newer Apache, systemd unit files instead of the init collection of shell scripts, and a further out EOL. Don't get me wrong, init shell scripts definitely require skill to write and upgrade, but sometimes you want a little more simplicity.
