Tru : Issue #72
- Contact email for the AWS marketplace: ACTION - BStinson - and update page on AWS that references this email address (cloud-ops@centos.org)
- Thomas: Sorry restricted issue (due to content) to board members, it was missing from above list
-
Discussion around removing Official obsoletes images from the Marketplace (no decision yet)
- The Board believes that old, unmaintained images (eg Official CL6 images, not third party provided images) be removed from cloud vendors. Send action to CPE infra team? (Rich will open ticket)
- Such a removal must be clearly messaged/announced on official channels
- Do cloud providers provide a way to pull down an image for new users, but have existing users of a published image still have access to it.
- Johnny offers to send a message to centos-devel about retiring cloud images, and gauge community sentiment on that
- Bex: make it clear images are deprecated in the meanwhile for Humans.
- Reach to Karanbir for AWS access (el7 ? el8 ?)
-
Propose few new slots for the meeting when new directors are added to the mailing list. #ACTION on Thomas.
