Since we want to make it possible to support cloud providers other than Amazon, we need to get off Amazon Linux.\r\n\r\nCentOS is very similar to Amazon Linux and is the obvious choice for switching. Ubuntu is another possibility but I will not pursue that unless there is some compelling argument for it over CentOS.\r\n\r\nSwitching to CentOS should mostly involve tweaking the shell scripts that run remotely during cluster launches and testing everything out to make sure everything still works."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/nchammas/flintrock/issues/comments/146273116","html_url":"https://github.com/nchammas/flintrock/issues/11#issuecomment-146273116","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/nchammas/flintrock/issues/11","id":146273116,"user":{"login":"broxtronix","id":63793,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/63793?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/broxtronix","html_url":"https://github.com/broxtronix","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/broxtronix/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/broxtronix/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/broxtronix/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/broxtronix/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/broxtronix/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/broxtronix/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/broxtronix/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/broxtronix/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/broxtronix/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-10-07T17:40:49Z","updated_at":"2015-10-07T17:40:49Z","body":"Google compute engine currently supports CentOS 7.1.1503 and CentOS 6.5.  I think the only other strong contender here would be a Debian or Ubuntu linux. My vote would probably be to standardize around CentOS 7, since it remains fairly compatible with Amazon Linux and we may even be able to retain Amazon Linux support, which could be handy for some users.  (I myself as relying right now on Amazon's official GPU computing AMI, which runs Amazon Linux.)\r\n\r\n[This](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B00O7WM7QW) seems to be the standard Centos 7 image for EC2.
