Hello Watching how I can improve the current status of Debian support at $DAYJOB I realized that AWS agents are not packaged even if their license allows it I wonder if packaging them, on main, would make Debian supported by AWS? When I said supported by AWS I mean Debian having the same status as Amazon Linux, RH, and Ubuntu in docs like this http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/sysman-install-ssm-agent.html http://docs.aws.amazon.com/codedeploy/latest/userguide/how-to-run-agent-install.html Agents - SSM http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/install-ssm-agent.html#install-startup-linux Debian is not mentioned. I used ubuntu's deb and it worked fine, upstream repo https://github.com/aws/amazon-ssm-agent recently the agent has been re licensed to Apache 2.0, so free software As a sysadmin I think that having SSM on AMIs installed by default would be good - cloudformation init https://s3.amazonaws.com/cloudformation-examples/aws-cfn-bootstrap-latest.tar.gz that's all no source repo, no named releases (there is an xml file where you could parse the date of last update) libs embedded: urllib3, chardet, requests, CA root certificates license is Apache 2.0 - CodeDeploy agent https://github.com/aws/aws-codedeploy-agent ruby, tagged releases on github LICENSE file says its Apache 2.0 - awslogs the package is just glue on top of aws-cli-plugin-cloudwatch-logs a-c-p-c-logs appears to be free software according to /usr/share/doc/aws-cli-plugin-cloudwatch-logs-1.3.3/LICENSE.txt but on pypi says otherwise https://pypi.python.org/pypi/awscli-cwlogs awslogs is under Amazon Software License, which does not comply with DFSG Maybe there are other agents out there that I don't know about it I'm *really* interested in feedback from from Amazon folks here, if Debian doesn't get the supported status by AWS, I won't have the time to own this effort (I don't know ruby so I can't help with the CodeDeploy agent anyway) thanks -- 1AE0 322E B8F7 4717 BDEA BF1D 44BB 1BA7 9F6C 6333 keybase: https://keybase.io/gfa
