Hi,
Long-time user of CentOS 7 AMIs from the AWS Marketplace. I see that the latest CentOS 7 and all CentOS 8 AMIs are only available outside of the Marketplace ("These images are published outside of the AWS Market Place and are shared directly" - https://wiki.centos.org/Cloud/AWS)
I'm really keen to understand if this is short-term situation, or if this is the indefinite future of CentOS AMI releases? There were a number of benefits to the Marketplace model - mainly for us is the ability to use Packer to fetch the latest AMI for the product code, plus also notifications. Are there reasons behind the recent change?
We're working to find a way forward w.r.t the AMP egagement - should have some news on that front in the coming weeks/months.
in the mean time, we will continue to push images outside of the marketplace, from the buildsystems that are updated on a predictable cadence and with clear origin. I dont see that pattern going away for AWS.
