I am excited to see Amazon Linux 2 support for aarch64 platforms in Puppet 7.31.0. However, it seems that the repo needs to be adjusted.
If the Puppet platform repository is added via: sudo rpm -Uvh https://yum.puppet.com/puppet7-release-amazon-2.noarch.rpm Then the Puppet agent package will still show stuck at 7.24.0 for el7: sudo yum repolist all Loaded plugins: priorities, update-motd, upgrade-helper repo id repo name status puppet7/aarch64 Puppet 7 Repository amazon 2 - aarch64 enabled: 25 sudo yum info puppet-agent Loaded plugins: priorities, update-motd, upgrade-helper Available Packages Name : puppet-agent Arch : aarch64 Version : 7.24.0 Release : 1.el7 Size : 21 M Repo : puppet7/aarch64 Summary : The Puppet Agent package contains all of the elements needed to run puppet, including ruby, facter, and hiera. URL : https://www.puppetlabs.com License : See components Description : The Puppet Agent package contains all of the elements needed to run puppet, including ruby, facter, and hiera. : : Contains the following components: : cleanup : facter 4.3.1 : hiera 3.12.0 : module-puppetlabs-augeas_core v1.3.0 : module-puppetlabs-cron_core v1.2.0 : module-puppetlabs-host_core v1.2.0 : module-puppetlabs-mount_core v1.2.0 : module-puppetlabs-scheduled_task v3.1.1 : module-puppetlabs-selinux_core v1.3.0 : module-puppetlabs-sshkeys_core v2.4.0 : module-puppetlabs-yumrepo_core v1.2.0 : module-puppetlabs-zfs_core v1.4.0 : module-puppetlabs-zone_core v1.1.0 : pl-ruby-patch : puppet 7.24.0 : puppet-resource_api 1.8.16 : puppet-runtime 202303220 : pxp-agent 202303171 : shellpath 2023-02-15 : wrapper-script If I instead do not enable the Puppet platform and just install directly, it does work fine: sudo rpm -Uvh https://yum.puppet.com/puppet7/amazon/2/aarch64/puppet-agent-7.31.0-1.amazon2.aarch64.rpm On Saturday, September 9, 2023 at 3:54:52 AM UTC-7 vche...@gmail.com wrote: > Michael, > > As it was mentioned, el7 agents are used on Amazon Linux 2, which is still > supported until 2025-06-30.
