The AlmaLinux project, after taking some time to think it over, has decided to pursue RHEL compatibility but is no longer aiming to be 1:1 “bug-for-bug” compatible with RHEL. Be sure to…
I’m curious to see if oracle, amazon, or suse will try to absorb some of the RHEL derivatives like alma and rocky. Right now there seems to be a lot of fragmentation in RHEL derivatives. Not to say they are trying to compete with Red Hat, but Amazon and Oracle seem like they would try to do so this way.
I was under the impression that like Oracle, they used RHEL sources as their base (from git.centos.org). But it appears that they now (as of 2022) only use fedora sources and maintain other sources on top of fedora, so they’ve deviated from RHEL compatibility as far as I can tell.

Doesn’t Amazon just use RHEL as base for their image already?

I thought amazon linux was loosely based on fedora
