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 of problem:
The default user of CentOS Stream 9 EC2 images is no longer ec2-user, but it got reverted to centos.
The fact that ec2-user should be the default user from CentOS Stream 9 is documented here: https://www.centos.org/download/aws-images/
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
CentOS Stream 9 x86_64 20220808
CentOS Stream 9 aarch64 20220808
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to https://www.centos.org/download/aws-images/, search for CS9 and us-east-1 (ami-09be5028b49e0505a (x86_64) or ami-071eb93df3cfe5101 (aarch64) will be found).
2. Click on Deploy, select your key pair in EC2 and launch it.
3. SSH using the ec2-user.
4. Get Permission denied even though you have the correct private key on your machine.
Workaround:
In the third step, use the centos user.
Actual results:
I cannot log in using the ec2-user, I need to use the centos user.
Expected results:
I can log in using the ec2-user, centos user doesn't exist.
Shameless plug:
Image Builder can build EC2 images for both CS8 and CS9. Feel free to contact me, I'm the PO. ;)
Ah, this is related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2115565. If I get it correctly, we just need a respin of CentOS Stream 9 images to get the fixed version of cloud-init. Can someone do it?
