Hi everyone,

It appears that the official Rocky Linux 9.x machine image (x86\_64 version) has disappeared from the AWS Marketplace.

We’ve been referencing the latest version of that AMI in our infrastructure-as-code scripts via a dynamic lookup in the AWS Marketplace. A week or two ago, we noticed that the x86\_64 version is missing, but not the arm64 version. The official AWS Marketplace page for Rocky Linux 9.x seems to have disappeared as well: aws.amazon .com/marketplace/pp/prodview-ygp66mwgbl2ii (sorry, can’t post proper links.)

Querying the AWS Marketplace lists results only for the arm64 version.

```bash
aws ec2 describe-images \
  --owners aws-marketplace \
  --filters 'Name=name,Values=Rocky-9-EC2-*' \
  --query 'Images[*].{
    Name:Name,
    ImageId:ImageId,
    Architecture:Architecture,
    CreationDate:CreationDate,
    ProductCodes:ProductCodes[*].ProductCodeId,
    OwnerId:OwnerId
  }' \
  --output table

```

Please note, this does not affect Rocky Linux 10.x; official versions for both x86\_64 and arm64 are still available on the AWS Marketplace.

Does anyone know why official images for Rocky Linux 9.x (x86\_64) disappeared from the AWS Marketplace?

Thank you!

-Benedikt

Hi @QaliusBenedikt , thanks for posting about this!

We had a bit of a mix-up in our AWS publishing recently - new versions 9.8 and 10.2 were published, but the older 9.7/10.1 (vulnerable until updated) versions were not marked as “deprecated” in the Amazon console. Unfortunately, if you do this Amazon marks your whole marketplace entry as restricted/hidden.

This is my fault - I wasn’t aware this is how it worked.

Fortunately, we caught this and fixed it - just took AWS staff a couple of days to review and approve changes.

The marketplace entry in question should be back up, I see it when I search to do an EC2 deploy:

> **[AWS Marketplace: Rocky Linux 9 (Official) - x86\_64](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-ygp66mwgbl2ii?sr=0-4&ref_=ucaf&applicationId=AWSMPContessa)**
>
> The official Rocky Linux 9 image

I also ran your describe-images command, and it seems to return the x86\_64 images now (base + LVM variants). Give it a try and let me know if it’s working now.

Sorry, quick addendum here: if you’d like the raw images for whatever reason, they are always available publicly in this directory: [https://download.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9/images/x86\_64/](https://download.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9/images/x86_64/) . For Amazon you’d be interested in the ones with “EC2” in the name.

If inclined, you can download those and import them as VMs/AMIs in your AWS account. They are exactly the same as the marketplace images - this is literally where they come from. Useful if you want to do further customizations, or just need an out-of-band image not dependent on AWS marketplace for whatever reason.

Hope this helps. We always want to make things as available and transparent as possible!

Hi Skip!

Thanks for the detailed reply and working with AWS to get this sorted out.

I checked on my end too, and I can confirm that I see both the Base and LVM version for x86\_64 and arm64.

Also, thank you so much for the extra tip about the source of these AMIs - that’s good to know!
