When will the Linux AMI be updated with a newer OS version?

Hello,

Do you have any info on when a newer Linux Deadline Worker Base Image AMI (with a later OS version e.g. AL2023) will be available?

I was about to prep a customized linux AMI for Houdini 20.0.x + Redshift with these sys reqs:

From SideFX website:
Houdini 20.0 targets the CY2023 specification of the VFX Reference Platform.

From Maxon Redshift forums from one of their devs:
Yes, in fact what we don’t support are the gcc9.3 Houdini 20.0 builds. Our plugins for Houdini 20.0 are gcc11.2 compatible only.

I launched an instance but the OS on the AMI is still Amazon Linux 2:

rpm -q system-release --provides
centos-release = 7.5
config(system-release) = 1:2-16.amzn2
redhat-release = 7.5
system-release = 1:2-16.amzn2
system-release(releasever) = 2
system-release(x86-64) = 1:2-16.amzn2

uname -r
4.14.336-256.559.amzn2.x86_64

ldconfig --version
ldconfig (GNU libc) 2.26

gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 7.3.1 20180712 (Red Hat 7.3.1-17)

I thought I selected the latest AMI (Deadline Worker Base Image Linux 2 10.3.1.4). Is there newer version that is named something different – maybe I missed it somehow?

TY!

That is the latest, but we can’t share any details about the roadmap or when updates to the AMIs will happen.

OK. Thanks for the info.
