You can build nearly anything you want and deploy to AWS. I use VMWare on my mac, build my own local VMs, export to OVA, and convert to AMI. Not point-and-click but certainly do-able. I had to build my own CentOS 8 AMI because CentOS didn't have an official one, and I didn't trust any of the janky ones in the public catalog.
