... which makes Amazon Linux more relevant than ever. There's now OEL and Amazon Linux unless you want to live on the edge with CentOS Stream. (If there are others based on RHEL, I can't think of them. Yes, I'm well aware of Ubuntu and Debian. There's nothing wrong with them, but some folks need RHEL for various reasons.)

  Can you run it in a VM? Where’s the ISO?

    Here's how to do it: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/amazon-linux-2-virtual-machine.html https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/amazon-l... And there's a Vagrant box for it: https://app.vagrantup.com/gbailey/boxes/amzn2 https://app.vagrantup.com/gbailey/boxes/amzn2 (There are a few versions of this.)

    Here's another version, that pre-dates the official docs (when they announced that Amazon Linux 2 was now possible to install on your own metal, it wasn't exactly well-documented.) The Amazon docs probably cover the same stuff now. https://superuser.com/questions/1048091/can-i-install-ec2-amazon-linux-os-locally-on-virtual-machine https://superuser.com/questions/1048091/can-i-install-ec2-am...
