| Summary | 0000329: AlmaLinux 8.7 AMI EBS snapshot unreadable -- cannot copy AMI | ||||
| Description | Hello, I am attempting to make a local copy of the AlmaLinux 8.7 us-east-1 x86_64 AMI into our own AWS account. This issue probably applies to the AMIs for other reasons and architectures, though I have not tested any other AMIs. The motivation to do this is to provide resiliency against future removal of the public AMI (see https://bugs.almalinux.org/view.php?id=326). I am following the process documented by AWS: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/CopyingAMIs.html I am using the AlmaLinux 8.7 AMI list published here: https://wiki.almalinux.org/cloud/AWS.html#community-amis The observed error from AWS is: Failed to copy ami-0924610ece26e5e7b You do not have permission to access the storage of this ami Thanks, Corey | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Log into AWS using a third party account (probably any account that is _not_ the account which owns the AlmaLinux AMIs). 2. Go to https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/home?region=us-east-1#CopyImage:imageId=ami-0924610ece26e5e7b 3. Click "Copy AMI". | ||||
| Additional Information | I searched the web for the text of the error message; this appears to be because the AMI's underlying EBS snapshot does not have public readability. This appears to be a semi-common issue for other projects in the same situation. This CoreOS ticket has the best information I have seen: https://github.com/coreos/bugs/issues/1090 Some other issues of the same nature from other projects are: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1423753 https://debian-cloud.debian.narkive.com/566akePc/ami-storage-permissions https://www.pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/7797 https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=17995 | ||||

Typo in my description above: "AMIs for other reasons" should be "AMIs for other regions". |

Dear Corey, Many thanks for such a wonderful report and contribution. We made public every snapshot of the AMI and will add this feature to our AMI mirror tool for the future releases. Please, check whether you can successfully do the copy operation. |

You're welcome for the report, and thank you for fixing this. I re-tried the operation and the copy succeeded this time. I haven't yet tried to use the copy, but should be able to later today. Feel free to close the ticket, though--it should be good. |

I tested an instance built using our copy of ami-0924610ece26e5e7b, and that worked fine. All seems well. Thanks again. |
