I don&amp;#x27;t see any mention of things we and many large shops like ours care about - long term support and RHEL compatibility.&lt;p&gt;We&amp;#x27;ve been very vocal to AWS product managers and solution architects about our needs for an Amazon Linux 3 that is a refresh over AWS Linux 2 (at least 5 years support with RHEL 8 compatibility, free kernel patching w&amp;#x2F;o reboots, official support from datadog, vmware images). Sad that we haven&amp;#x27;t been heard. We&amp;#x27;ll now need to plan to move over 20k instances to Rocky Linux.&lt;p&gt;I suspect that the move to using Fedora has something to do with changes to the CentOS project that AWS Linux 2 forked. Let&amp;#x27;s hope the beancounters at IBM doesn&amp;#x27;t have other plans for Fedora.</text></comment>
