| Summary | 0000430: AWS AMI support for the UEFI | ||||
| Description | In AWS using the AlmaLinux image I'm not able to boot the instance as an UEFI. If the OS is ready to be booted as an UEFI, the issue can be caused by the fact that the boot method for the AMI instance is not set: [cloudshell-user@ip-10-2-38-115 ~]$ aws ec2 describe-images --region us-east-1 --image-id ami-0662bc457a6bc2bb6 { "Images": [ { "Architecture": "x86_64", "CreationDate": "2023-08-05T21:23:26.000Z", "ImageId": "ami-0662bc457a6bc2bb6", "ImageLocation": "aws-marketplace/AlmaLinux OS 8.8.20230804 x86_64-c076b20a-2305-4771-823f-944909847a05", "ImageType": "machine", "Public": true, "OwnerId": "679593333241", "PlatformDetails": "Linux/UNIX", "UsageOperation": "RunInstances", "ProductCodes": [ { "ProductCodeId": "be714bpjscoj5uvqz0of5mscl", "ProductCodeType": "marketplace" } ], "State": "available", "BlockDeviceMappings": [ { "DeviceName": "/dev/sda1", "Ebs": { "DeleteOnTermination": true, "SnapshotId": "snap-0fac659b1c378abcf", "VolumeSize": 4, "VolumeType": "gp3", "Encrypted": false } } ], "Description": "Official AlmaLinux OS 8.8 x86_64 image", "EnaSupport": true, "Hypervisor": "xen", "ImageOwnerAlias": "aws-marketplace", "Name": "AlmaLinux OS 8.8.20230804 x86_64-c076b20a-2305-4771-823f-944909847a05", "RootDeviceName": "/dev/sda1", "RootDeviceType": "ebs", "SriovNetSupport": "simple", "VirtualizationType": "hvm", "DeprecationTime": "2025-08-05T21:23:26.000Z" } ] } There is missing "BootMode". Can you please add it to make the alma UEFI ready? Set the BootMode to "uefi-preferred". https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/launch-instance-boot-mode.html#UEFI-supported-types https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ami-boot-mode.html https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ami-boot.html | ||||

Hi mlitwora, We are testing 8.9-beta-1 and 9.3-beta-1 AMIs in the "uefi-preferred" boot mode. Which basically means an instance will be created and boot in UEFI if it's supported by the instance type. Would you like to help us with the testing? Here is the AMI IDs on the us-east-1 region. You can also copy them to another region if you want. AlmaLinux OS 8.9-beta-1.20231107 x86_64: ami-0ebb096e453d2fb20 AlmaLinux OS 9.3-beta-1.20231107 x86_64: ami-04036e2559f9d72d9 |

Hi elkhan, sorry for late reply. We already noticed the added uefi option in AWS for the AlmaLinux images. Thanks for working on this issue! |
