RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Reid Wahl 2022-04-18 23:16:06 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2076401 +++

Description of problem:

Red Hat ships an outdated version of the AWS CLI via the awscli package. It's major version 1. Meanwhile, Amazon provides an up-to-date version (currently on major version 2) via the AWS web site.
  - Installing or updating the latest version of the AWS CLI (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/getting-started-install.html#cliv2-linux-install)

It would be convenient to direct customers to these installation instructions, rather than maintaining our own awscli package. This would ensure that our customers have access to the latest fixes and improvements with minimal effort on our part. It would allow us to work more smoothly with AWS support when issues arise. For example, AWS support may ask that a customer experiencing connection issues try with an up-to-date CLI version (as they have in fact requested on at least one occasion). Currently, this is not possible without installing directly from Amazon.

Alternatively, we could regularly build, test, and release updated awscli packages. The obvious advantage is that changes to the CLI would go through our QA process. The disadvantages as mentioned above are additional dev/QE/release work, delayed updates relative to Amazon, and potentially less smooth collaboration with AWS support.

Until 14 Apr 2022, our HA installation on AWS article directed users to install the awscli package. On 14 Apr, this was updated to point to Amazon's procedure. We should test this more thoroughly.

If z-streams are required, then we need to hit at least 8.1, 8.2, and 8.4 for SAP support.
