Hi.
The situation is quite the same as described in No kernel update available for cloud optimized rocky8 .
I’m runningRocky 8.10 VM deployed in Google Cloud.
My kernel is 4.18.0-553.16.1.el8_10.cloud.0.1.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Sep 12 13:56:18 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
When checking in Index of /pub/sig/8/cloud/x86_64/cloud-kernel/ - indeed this is the latest available signed version.
I’m not sure how the signed versions are rolled out? Should I wait more for the updated signed versions?
Thanks.
I noticed that kernel was marked as excluded in the rocky-base.repo configuration (reminder - I’m using Google Cloud)
As a workaround I’ve disabled the cloud-kernel repository and commented out the exclude line.
It’s quite ugly, but I had no choice.
Any update on new cloud kernel? when they are going to realese new kernel update?
I’m not sure who maintains the cloud-kernel sig @neil @nazunalika do you maybe know when updated kernels appear?
You can try raising awareness of this on Rocky Mattermost in sig/cloud channel: Rocky Linux Mattermost
From the chat activirty, I see a MR with kernel updates is pending: [SIG-CLOUD-8] Add bugfixes for carried patches (!21) · Merge requests · SIG / cloud / patch / kernel · GitLab

@ilyabr How you procced for kernel update, I am still waiting for the cloud kernel update.
I can not switch the cloud kernel to normal kernel since i have more count of VM’s
@Jatin_firme exacly as I said:
I’ve disabled the cloud-cernel repository and commented the exclude line in the Rocky-BaseOS.repo:
pssh -H "all_my_hosts" sudo sed -i 's/exclude/#exclude/' /etc/yum.repos.d/Rocky-BaseOS.repo && sudo dnf config-manager --disable cloud-kernel
Of course, before that I’ve tested the regular kernel for a week on our staging deployment.
I don’t know what’s the main difference between the cloud and the regular kernel, but it looks like this is not something significant that we can’t live without it.
