Crontab missing from most recent AWS Linux AMI

0

Hello Team,

For the AMI ID ami-02f3f602d23f1659d (al2023-ami-2023.0.20230315.0-kernel-6.1-x86_64), I am seeing that crontab is missing

[root@ip-172-31-11-172 ~]# contab -l -bash: contab: command not found

After that I have installed the crontab manually using the command yum install cronie cronie-anacron But could you please let me know, Is the AWS missed to include crontab or hereafter the AMI will come up without crontab. Could you please confirm.

The specific AMI referred in the question seems to be a Community AMI. The image doesn't come with crontab and it has to be installed manually. Although I couldn't find any documentation for the specific reason as to why crontab is not installed, I was able to confirm that the instance is installed without crontab confirming our assumption that community editions may not have crontab.
