Hi Rocky Linux team, Quick heads-up: in AWS region mx-central-1 (Mexico Central), the official Rocky Linux 9 AMI for aarch64 is available, but the x86\_64 variant isn’t showing up in the Marketplace or public AMI list. It feels odd to have ARM ready but not x86\_64. Since mx-central-1 fully supports EC2, having the x86\_64 image would really help avoid manual copying from other regions and streamline deployments for teams that rely on Intel/AMD instances. Is it possible to publish the official x86\_64 Rocky Linux 9 AMI in mx-central-1 soon? Parity between architectures there would be awesome. Thanks! ---

That’s strange, I must have missed it! Will take a look right away. ---

I’ve submitted the request to update the Marketplace image regions. For some reason, despite using the “Enable future regions” setting, sometimes that doesn’t always happen. I also went and published the AMIs in EC2–there was a setting on the region to block public AMIs. I’ve filed a [ticket](https://git.resf.org/infrastructure/meta/issues/119) to address this deficiency. Thanks again for the report. ---

Thank you, Neil. Looking forward to using it in my region! ---

Huh. I’m not able to see mx regions at all. @neil is that something I need to be configure my AWS account to be able to see? ```auto $ aws ec2 describe-regions --output json | jq -r '.Regions[].RegionName' | sort ap-northeast-1 ap-northeast-2 ap-northeast-3 ap-south-1 ap-southeast-1 ap-southeast-2 ca-central-1 eu-central-1 eu-north-1 eu-west-1 eu-west-2 eu-west-3 me-central-1 me-south-1 sa-east-1 us-east-1 us-east-2 us-west-1 us-west-2 ``` ---

Yep. We can probably just setup a read-only token in our AMI account for this, if you want? Throw a ticket in and I’ll make some credentials available in Bitwarden ---

Hello @neil, hope have a great week. Do you have any update on this? Still no available on the Marketplace on mx-central-1 ![SCR-20250715-ifzz](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/rockylinux/original/2X/f/f7505a321f5fde03e7cabb32712b7bad05794b6a.png) Thanks! ---

@garsan Please accept my sincere apologies for dropping the ball on this. I could have sworn I’d completed this but when I went to look, it’s obvious I got sidetracked with other things while waiting for AWS approvals to occur. The images should be available in mx-central soon. ---
