Amazon Linux 2022 is not officially supported as you say: https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/installation/supported-platforms The main reason is that Amazon Linux 2022 is a preview release currently: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/linux/al2022/release-notes/relnotes.html

Amazon Linux 2022 is in preview release, and the features, packages, and package versions that are included in the preview release are subject to change.

However we should be able to support it once it is stable and it should be a case of modifying the current packaging target: https://github.com/fluent/fluent-bit/tree/master/packaging/distros/amazonlinux Feel free to submit a PR to cover it, a similar one was recently added for Ubuntu 22.04 support.

[patrick-stephens]

For anyone coming to this, we can build the packages now but there are no official released versions yet.

[patrick-stephens]

We can build AL2022 packages already, we just do not provide any official packages in repositories for them as a supported target. The primary reason is that it is still not GA, expected Q4 2022: https://aws.amazon.com/linux/amazon-linux-2022/faqs/

This issue is to cover the changes required once we want to support it:

• [x] One line install script update: https://github.com/fluent/fluent-bit/blob/f092885a4bbdea2104af203a8a727cf6eaa7e4b6/install.sh#L36
• [x] Add to the build config: https://github.com/fluent/fluent-bit/blob/f092885a4bbdea2104af203a8a727cf6eaa7e4b6/packaging/build-config.json
• https://github.com/fluent/fluent-bit/pull/6186
• [x] Ensure we include repo in packaging process: https://github.com/fluent/fluent-bit/blob/f092885a4bbdea2104af203a8a727cf6eaa7e4b6/packaging/update-repos.sh#L18
• [x] Ensure release server provides repository (not exposed here).
• [x] Update docs for supported platforms: https://github.com/fluent/fluent-bit-docs/blob/master/installation/linux/amazon-linux.md

[patrick-stephens]

This should be present in 2.0.
