My recollection is that the official AMI still ships kernel -431, which
breaks during boot on large systems with multiple NUMA nodes, like
c4.8xlarges. This kernel is extremely old, and 'yum update' is enough to
make everything work.

That used to be enough, and you could build an up to date AMI on top of the
official one, but since they added the marketplace blacklist you need to
roll your own AMI from scratch.
