RHBA-2015:2444 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
ec2-image bug fix and enhancement update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
Updated ec2-image packages that fix one bug and add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
Description
The Red Hat Enterprise Linux Amazon Machine Image (AMI) provides a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 KVM Guest Image for cloud instances. This image is provided as a minimally configured system image which is available for use as-is or for configuration and customization as required by end users.
This update fixes the following bug:
- After kernel updates were applied and the Amazon Machine Image (AMI) was copied, the Root partition did not get resized to the available space. As a consequence, Hardware Virtual Machine AMI (HVM AMI) did not use entire root volume. This bug has been fixed, and the AMI now uses the full root volume. (BZ#1279571)
This update adds the following enhancement:
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux AMI is now shipped with enhanced networking attribute, the "--sriov" flag, enabled by default. This allows the user to create a customized AMI without having to stop the instance and enable this flag in a separate step. (BZ#1205334)
Users of ec2-image are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug and add this enhancement.
