Our AWS technical reps stopped by our office the other day. They
said the primary issue with CentOS in terms of the AKI/ARI is that
the creation process is tedious, not straightforwad, and they
usually only open that up to "partners" who will sign an NDA. And
they are more used to working with business entities, such as Red
Hat, Oracle, etc. Maybe they're confused as to what to do with
"CentOS"? I don't know.

But since we have a business relation with them already and are
under NDA, we did tell them we were happy to develop the proper
AKI/ARIs and give those to CentOS to vet. So they will send us the
API to do so, shortly.

This might all be moot, as there are changes coming to AWS soon in
relation to this (among many other things), but we'll wait to see
what's publicly announced.
