AlmaLinux OS Kitten 10 is the direct upstream for AlmaLinux OS 10 and is the primary point for the AlmaLinux community to engage and influence the future of AlmaLinux OS. Fixes and features land here first and trickle down into AlmaLinux OS as appropriate. It is the integration and collaboration point for AlmaLinux to its upstreams as well, such as CentOS Stream and Fedora.
Highlights
AlmaLinux OS Amazon Machine Images include Cloud-init, AWS Systems Manager Agent (SSM Agent) and EC2 Instance Connect support. The default cloud user is set up to be "ec2-user". After the machine is running, you will be able to log in as this user and run privileged commands with sudo.
All AlmaLinux OS images are built with SELinux set to enforcing mode.
AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
The software itself is free, so you pay only for the AWS arm64 (Graviton) EC2 instance you run it on. Each dimension is a separate instance type, billed hourly. You are not choosing between software tiers or feature levels. Instead, you pick the instance size and family that fits your workload. Choices span general purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, and graphics families, from small shared instances up to bare-metal servers. Your hourly cost scales with the size and capability of the instance you select. You can start and stop instances as needed.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What am I actually paying for, since the AlmaLinux OS software is free?
The operating system carries no software charge. Every AMI is free of charge regardless of deployment channel. You pay only the underlying AWS charge for the arm64 (Graviton) EC2 instance type you launch, billed per hour of running time.
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or powered off?
Hourly charges apply to running instance-hours only. A stopped or powered-off instance does not accrue instance-hour charges. You may still pay AWS for attached storage while the instance is stopped, but the instance-hour meter counts running time only.
What does one dimension, like c8g.4xlarge, represent for billing?
Each dimension is one specific arm64 (Graviton) EC2 instance type. The name encodes the family and size, such as compute-optimized at a set number of vCPUs and memory. Metal names run on a full physical server. You are billed per hour that instance runs.

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
