​No sign of a new image and the existing "​
CentOS 6 (x86_64) - with Updates HVM
​" still ​doesn't support c4-8xlarge.  Can you confirm this is still in
process?

Re: [CentOS-virt] Fwd: Centos 6 AMI does not support c4-8xlarge

[John Peacock]

I have done that, but the point of the request is that we would like to
have an official upstream AMI that we can use as the basis for our work.
I'm guessing that the reason for the blacked out instance type is that
early 6.x kernels didn't have the patches necessary to support 36 vCPU's
present in the c4.8xlarge instance.

I have yet to try this but I believe you can take a snapshot of the 
image after it is first installed.


Then attach the snapshot to another VM and copy the data to a new volume.

That new volume could then be used to create another AMI that you can 
deploy as you see fit.

[CentOS-virt] Fwd: Centos 6 AMI does not support c4-8xlarge

[John Peacock]

One of the things suboptimal with Marketplace images is that the author can
limit which instance types are allowed with the AMI and there is no way to
override that.  We are using Centos 6.8 for our deployments, but we need to
move to the c4.8xlarge type, but that is not a permitted option for the
"CentOS 6 (x86_64) - with Updates HVM" AMI.  Is there any way we could get
that image refreshed to support the largest image type?  We really need the
10G networking for our application.

Thanks in advance

John
