- Twirrim 6y agoCentOS is how RedHat releases their sources in compliance with open source licenses (Presumably they're going back to releasing them as a consequence for this). My familiarity with Amazon Linux is about 4 years out-of-date these days, but it was a RHEL/CentOS clone with a number of the core libraries like glibc being updated and maintained by Amazon on an independent life cycle.
