Deploying centos7 in AWS?

I’m about to try to deploy centos in AWS.

Any advice since this is what I get:

Hmm… no advice just now…

Do we provide a way to specify an AMI for the series somehow? I wonder if we could provide an override here. Looks like however Juju is looking up an AMI for the series isn’t finding a centos one it can use.

I’m able to import centos cloud images when using lxd cloud. Being able to do the same somehow (ideally consistently) in aws/vsphere/gce would be fantastic. The immediate benefit, would be able to test my charms in a ci/CD pipeline for charms meant for maas, first in vsphere or aws.

I can think of many other use cases.

Just found this https://blogs.vmware.com/vsphere/2020/03/vsphere-7-assignable-hardware.html

So, when deploying an HPC cluster on centos, to be able to test this on vsphere clouds would make my day.

But I don’t know any means on how to deploy centos on vsphere. Stuck on lxd or maas.
