Rocky 8 Available for Amazon EC2 G6 Instances?

  • May 28, 2024
  • Review verified by AWS Marketplace

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!?

  • January 05, 2023
  • Review verified by AWS Marketplace

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

Perfect replacement to CentOS

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.

Seems like this just times out when trying to connect. Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this with this image?

The release of Rocky Linux as an alternative to CentOS 8 is a good thing for open source. Thank you very much to the Rocky Linux Team for the GA release.

We've been using the Rocky distro on our bare-metal servers in production since the GA release. Now testing and running the official Rocky image in AWS and very happy with it so far.

Thank you Rocky Linux Team !!!!!
