Why AWS AMI or Gold Images have standard partitions and not LVM partitions for Red Hat Enterprise Linux ?
Issue
- Why AMI or golden cloud images use a single/ standard root filesystem rather than using a multi-partition or LVM layout?
- Why there is single partition on my AWS host?
- Can I make custom image with LVM for my AWS installation?
Environment
