Use the centos 7 image published by amazon - it supports all instances
Of course, if you already made an instance with this AMI, I guess you're out of luck. It's pretty annoying.
CentOS
To use this product from amazon machine images. It has a detailed informations regarding the products and usage is of much important.
Currently is not supporting new Instance Types
This version works fine but right now it is not supporting new Instacne Types like c6i, m6i; thus disallowing take advantage of new improvements in the EC2 platform.
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.
Does not work
I tried this several times and was hit by a bug that prevents cloud-init from completing, especially after a reboot. This appears to be a Redhat bug: Bugzilla 1897616 that has been sitting around for ages.
In the end I tried the identically named AMI released by AWS (rather than CentOS) at https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-foff247vr2zfw (if the link doesn't work, search the marketplace with "CentOS 7 (x86_64) - with Updates HVM" and pick the Amazon Web Services item)
created a new instance and couldn't ssh to server
Created a new instance with this image and couldn't SSH to server. I get this error.
~ % ssh -i "20201124.pem" centos@ec2-18-144-138-35.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com

Perfect for HPC workloads
The most stable for our computations: ansys, openfoam, ML traning and other HPC tasks. Usually we bake our images with centos
Version 2002_01 Doesn't work
Seems like it doesn't boot.
Tried to deploy twice.
No output in the EC2 Instance Connect either.
Didn't expect this will happen with AMI from CentOS.
Not working ATM
Tried to launch this instance for 3 times now and am not able to connect properly.
Hope it gets fixed soon.
