Jul 23, 2020 at 20:09 comment added Michael Hampton I recommend you go with 8. The new AppStream setup makes it extremely easy to manage your PHP version (and versions of many other things) so staying on e.g. 7.3 is the default and upgrading, say, from 7.3 to 7.4 is easy but you control when it happens.
Jul 23, 2020 at 20:05 comment added DanF Seems like a good idea. From experimenting with Amazon Linux 2 it did seem like they felt they needed to make some unnecessary changes. I'll check out the AWS Community CentOS 7 and 8 distros when the time comes.
Jul 23, 2020 at 19:40 comment added Michael Hampton You got really lucky, then. But your luck is running out. Amazon Linux 2 is far less "compatible" and you should expect lots of breakage if you try that. Take this opportunity to dump it and just go to real CentOS. You probably won't get another opportunity for years.
Jul 23, 2020 at 19:39 comment added DanF It may not be guaranteed, but every CentOS-6 compatible repo I've used has worked with Amazon Linux with zero problems. Seems like a remarkable string of coincidences :-)
