amazon-linux-extras package for Freebsd

Question

Hi,

Im still trying to create "EKS optimized" Freebsd AMI using this guide - https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/eks-custom-linux-ami . So im using "awslabs" provided scripts (from here https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-eks-ami) that run "packer". After some time of troubleshooting im stuck at step of installing `amazon-linux-extras`. Where i can find what this package contain?

Thank you

From the title of your question am I right that the source AMI that you're using is FreeBSD? The knowledge doc you've linked to describes how to create an Amazon Linux (not FreeBSD) AMI to deploy with EKS. This would make sense as I wouldn't expect `amazon-linux-extras` to be available on FreeBSD.

If you start off with an Amazon Linux AMI can you ovcecome this obstacle?

PS one more thing - use Amazon Linux 2 (not 2023) as this one contains `amazon-linux extras` https://aws.amazon.com/linux/amazon-linux-2023/faqs/
