In September 2025, the official-images repository delivered targeted Amazon Linux release metadata updates for AMD64 and ARM64v8 builds. The work focused on aligning release references with the latest stable package versions and build artifacts, ensuring that Amazon Linux 2 and Amazon Linux 2023 images stay current and secure. The changes included a package refresh (krb5-libs and libxml2) and two commits documenting the update. A rollback was subsequently performed to revert the release information update, restoring prior tags and Git commit hashes to maintain metadata stability and traceability. Overall, the month balanced proactive updates with rigorous rollback safeguards to prevent inconsistent release data, preserving reliability for downstream deployments.

July 2025: Delivered an essential update to influxdata/official-images by aligning Amazon Linux release references with the latest stable builds (Amazon Linux 2 and Amazon Linux 2023). Updated release tags and commit hashes to ensure image builds use current, supported baselines. The change was implemented via commit ffcc842975dcce4379368d83e3b8a12d2bbae5e6 with message 'Add amazonlinux releases' and validated against the image build pipeline. No major bugs were reported this month.
