Is Amazon Linux based on centos? (self.aws)

If it is, how is it going to be effected by the RHEL announcement which effectively kills centos?

no, both AL2 and AL2023 are an Amazon remix distro. I cant find it now, but there was a line that said its was a diff of the last 3 versions of Fedora ( I think)

AL2 was somewhat based on centos 7 since many things in epel work fine on it. The amazon linux extras tool can even enable the epel repos for you. A lot or all of the things dependent on python 3 in epel don't seem to work well though as AL2 has a newer python 3 version than centos 7.
