When is AlmaLinux Coming To LightSail?

1

CentOS 8 went end of life December 2021.

When is AWS bringing AlmaLinux to LightSail? The chaps over at Alma advise it's being worked on, but are waiting upon AWS.

As LightSail is out of the box PAAS service. Most of the OS are integrated with some apps like Bitnami Wordpress , nodejs etc. i hope we will see AlmaLinux on LightSail in feature.

The OS version on lightsail is too old and apparently the AWS team doesn't care about lightsail.

  • Debian 11 was released on August 14, 2021, but lightsail doesn't support this version yet (June 8, 2022).

It is noted that LightSail are now offering the option of CentOS 9 stream! (nothing on the light sail blog announcing this tho).

'Stream' is a ‘rolling release’. In essence this is classed a beta/ test operating system for the Redhat Enterprise Linux system: serious consequences for production/ enterprise level systems! This is not fit for production systems.

Come on LightSail team, we need AlmaLinux 8 (in which there is 9 years of security patches left!) & version 9 - the binary binary compatible operating system to that of the Redhat Enterprise Linux operating system which is the market leader.

There are over cloud compute companies out there offering AlmaLinux 8 & 9. Might as well get up and make the switch....

From spinning up the 'WHM & cPanel' blueprint within LightSail this is running AlmaLinux 8.8, so go figure why the LightSail team are not at this moment in time able to make it an 'OS' option instead of just 'App+OS' offering.
