Decent RHEL Clone but minor supportability issues
Reviewed on Jan 24, 2025
Purchase verified by AWS
Overall, this is a perfectly serviceable RHEL clone offering. Currently, only real complaints are:
* No Compliance as Code project-entries, so that tool can't be used to automate security-hardening to desired hardening-benchmarks (PCI/DSS, CIS, STIG, etc.)
* Can't use CSP's automated tasks due to service-document issues – even though it's a RHEL clone, services like SSM and GuardDuty don't quite know what to do with/for it

Excellent for an easy Virtualmin installation
Reviewed on Aug 27, 2023
Purchase verified by AWS
This AMI for Rocky Linux 9 is a standout choice for users seeking a hassle-free experience with Virtualmin. The seamless integration of Virtualmin streamlines web hosting management, offering an all-in-one solution for website creation, administration, and maintenance. While I faced issues with a CodeReady repository during setup with several other AMIs I tested, this AMI's compatibility with Virtualmin is a standout feature, making it incredibly convenient for setting up web services. This AMI is an excellent choice for those looking for a hassle-free Virtualmin installation.
