When we mount swap partition in Amazon linux 2 using its mount point path, then sometimes it creates issue as os did not get boot so later on it was identified that, in Amazon linux 2 any mount point should be mounted based on UUID not with respect to actual path.

As the (base) machine image for our cloud services I value the long-term support, automated security updates and the wide variety of popular runtime environments for our application deployments. Another key feature is the out-of-the-box compatibility with Amazon Web Services' command line tools which allows us to automate a lot of our infrastructure creation.

In the past Amazon Linux 2 has been slow to adopt and support the very latest runtime environment versions like the latest NodeJs version 18. The same has been true for the support of some dependencies our application relies on, in most if not all cases the problematic packages are binary dependencies which rely on the support of the underlying machine image.
