How to list the latest available RHEL images on Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) on AWS
Issue
- How to list the latest available RHEL Amazon Machine Images (AMIs)
Resolution
Use the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) to list available RHEL images. The following example shows --query and --filters options you can use to list RHEL 7 images available on AWS in the us-east-1 region. Modify the values in the example command to list the images you want to see. For example, you can replace Values-RHEL-7.?*GA* with Values-RHEL-6.?*GA* to list RHEL 6 images.
Note: Do not modify the command option --owners 309956199498. This is the account ID used to show Red Hat images. If you need to list images for AWS GovCloud, use --region us-gov-west-1 and --owners 219670896067. See What Is AWS GovCloud (US)? for additional information.
[cloud-user@localhost ~] $ aws ec2 describe-images --owners 309956199498 --query 'Images[*].[CreationDate,Name,ImageId]' --filters "Name=name,Values=RHEL-7.?*GA*" --region us-east-1 --output table | sort -r
