awsBitnami AMIs w. NVME Support - MagentoOS, WooCommerce (WordPress OS) and OroCommerce OS

Question

Hello ***AWS re:Post Community,***

I have a question regarding the AWS Bitnami Images (AMIs) specifically for MagentoOS and WooCommerce (WordPress) OS.

I noticed that ***most awsBitnami AMIs are currently not enabled for NVMe SSD storage and only support EBS. ***Additionally, they seem to reference only the 16GB or higher memory optimized variants, such as *r5ad.large, m5ad.large, r7gd.medium, and m7gd.medium* (Region Availability - ap-south1) at discounted offering.

Could anyone shed some light on why this limitation exists? *Are there plans to support NVMe SSD for these images in the future?*

Furthermore, I am interested in understanding if there are any ***plans to support OroCommerce OS on AWS Bitnami Images*** as well. It would be great to know if there are any *updates or timelines regarding the availability of OroCommerce OS on these images.*

Thank you for your insights!

I apologize, but I don't have specific information about Bitnami AMIs, their NVMe SSD support, or plans for OroCommerce OS in the AWS Bitnami Images. The sources provided do not contain relevant information to accurately answer your questions about these particular AMIs and their capabilities.

However, I can provide some general information about AMIs in AWS:

Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) are templates that contain software configurations, operating system, and other settings for launching EC2 instances. AWS offers various types of AMIs, including those optimized for specific purposes like deep learning.

Regarding keeping AMIs up to date, it's considered best practice to regularly update host OS images with the latest security patches. For EKS optimized AMIs, for example, it's recommended to check the changelog and release notes channel regularly and automate the rollout of updated worker node images into clusters.

AWS provides different types of AMIs for various use cases. For instance, there are Deep Learning AMIs (DLAMI) that come preconfigured with machine learning frameworks and tools for researchers and practitioners.

If you have specific requirements for your AMIs, such as NVMe SSD support or particular software configurations, you may want to consider building custom AMIs. This allows you to install specific software and configurations tailored to your needs.

For the most up-to-date and accurate information about specific AMI capabilities, support for certain instance types, or plans for future AMI offerings, I recommend reaching out to AWS support directly or consulting the official AWS documentation.
