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

*Summary*

The CMS Hybrid Cloud team had previously 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 at this time, as it contains the latest available at time of release. 

*Actions we are taking*

A hotfix was release on Aug 26, 2024 to address the issue. Please see the Release Notes below for details about consuming the hotfix. 

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 did this happen?*

Aug 26, 2024 - The CMS Hybrid Cloud Gold Image team provide a hotfix and will continue to 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.
