NOTICE: CMS Cloud Amazon Linux 2023 Gold Image Release Issue!

*Summary*

The CMS Hybrid Cloud team has identified an issue with the boot file of the *July Amazon Linux 2023 Gold Image [ https://cloud.cms.gov/gold-image-amazon-linux-2023-release-notes ] *released on *July 12th, 2024. *If your system is rebooted after patching the Kernel, it will  fail to boot and requires a rebuild.

*Note: *This issue likely affects the August release as well, but does not have a kernel update available to perform and contains the latest kernel available at the time of release.

*Actions we are taking*

The CMS Hybrid Cloud patching team has disabled all kernel updates from monthly patching until AWS has provided a fix. If any security vulnerabilities are reported, rebuilding with the latest Gold Image will continue to remediate risks, and is recommended.

*When is this happening?*

The CMS Hybrid Cloud Gold Image team is working to provide a hotfix and will communicate a status in next week's change newsletter.  

*Who will be impacted?*

Any customers using an Amazon Linux 2023 Gold Image from July or August 2024 who have performed a kernel update.

*What is the impact? *


* If you perform a kernel update with the July or August Amazon Linux 2023 Gold Image and reboot your system, you will likely have to rebuild the instance.
* Release notes have been published regarding this issue here:  https://cloud.cms.gov/gold-image-amazon-linux-2023-release-notes. It contains a workaround that addresses the problem after performing a kernel update and prior to rebooting.
