Hello,
I searched centos7 in the AWS marketplace for the at-time-of-writing-latest centos7 image: https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B00O7WM7QW?qid=1524138193326&sr=0-...
I built a standard free tier t2.micro from this putative 1803_01 AMI. I see from the docs, this is thus a March 2018 compilation. When I get CLI, I get this:
[centos@ip-172-31-27-32 etc]$ cat centos-release CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core)
which suggests that the AMI I just launched was built on a version of centos compiled from upstream sources in August 2017. Does the release of centos7 on the marketplace sport a release version which does not pertain to the machine's release? Unlike with releases published outside AWS, the Centos https://wiki.centos.org/Cloud/AWS cloud page does not specify version info as listed on AWS.
Thanks v much IA,
M
