I've done it by hand now, for CentOS 8 and RHEL 8, by building locally<br>
on VirtualBox or VMware Player from installation media and exporting a<br>
VM image to import on for an AWSM AMI. It does require some caution:<br>
encrypting your root disk images, for example, is considered a good<br>
security step. But XFS on CentOS 7 used to present some difficulties,<br>
and I wound engaging in some serious "use my own tools to transfer the<br>
running OS to a pristine new disk image partitioned the way my client<br>
demanded to follow their security standards. I've been pulling that<br>
stunt since roughly 1998 when updating and repartitioning operating<br>
systeems for a Very Large CDN, the experience is helpful for dealing<br>
with mock and chroot dcages.<br>
