I hope you don't trust directly what's coming from that search box, where plenty of people have tagged something like a centos image before we even had one there :)
Just use the AMI ID for now

Hi,
What led me to searching was
https://wiki.centos.org/Cloud/AWS
the AMI for us-east-1 , x86_64 and aarch64 are both of aarch64
Please give the correct AMI id for x86_64.
thanks

Fabian, thank you for making these AMIs directly available without having to deal with marketplace subscriptions.
A couple of follow-up questions:
1. Would it be possible to make the underlying snapshots public? That way, users could use the "Copy AMI" functionality without getting the "You do not have permission to access the storage of this ami" error. Also, it would be easier to create volumes from that snapshot for future troubleshooting. (The underlying snapshots for the Fedora releases appear to be public)
2. It might be worth mentioning on the wiki page that the AMIs are owned by 125523088429 (which appears to own the Fedora images as well).
3. When spot checking the AMIs listed on https://wiki.centos.org/Cloud/AWS I can find the CentOS Linux 6 AMI, but not the CentOS Linux 7 AMI (at least in us-west-2).
Thanks again for getting all this working!

Hello everyone, I apologize for the outlook formatting. It's what I have today.

The query is for the marketplace AMIs and what Fabian and friends have posted are community AMIs. At Amazon there are two ways to publish, a self-publication is what we many of our OS Partners choose to use where they are not collecting additional fees and do not have a requirement to collect marketing feedback on the usage. Many choose to publish into the AWS Marketplace for discoverability and that's a great advantage, but it's not necessary when we have a strong security practice like the CentOS team has. In this case, the AMIs the CPE team published are published to a community account owned by the CPE team. The AWS Marketplace updates are pending for now, so if you need CentOS 8.2.2004, use the listed AMIs.
So the query refers to the details that are published to AWS Marketplace and the publication to the AWS Marketplace can take several days due to mandatory security audits, known audit exceptions, Marketplace TAM availability, etc. If you need a query for these images, use the following:
# aws ec2 describe-images --owners 125523088429 --query 'Images[?contains(Name, `CentOS`) == `true`]' --region us-east-1
Replace the region with the region where you would like to get the images output.
The 125523088429 is an infrastructure account owned and exclusively used by the CPE Infrastructure team for management, so this is an important constraint for your query to distinguish it from other community AMIs published with the name CentOS. It also includes some official Fedora images and that is expected.

You can trust the query in the wiki where the marketplace code is identified. That is the official CentOS marketplace publication code. The AWS Marketplace agreement was signed by one person in the CentOS org before Red Hat took over management of the trademark. There is a long story here to tell around a fosdem campfire, but suffice it to say that the Marketplace publication is constrained by the one person who signed the AWS Marketplace agreement and their availability. Publishing community AMIs makes it a faster process to provide availability without making the publication dependent on a single resource.
