I’ve just received an email telling me that Eventstore now officially supports Amazon Linux as a target OS. Have you done any testing around Centos 7 at all? I’m just about to start moving everything from Amazon Linux to Centos and it would be great if we could finally get Eventstore on the same OS as everything else.

There is a card for it.
Actually our Amazon Linux builds are done in a container (on Joyent) which uses CentOS 6 (matching kernel and glibc version for Amazon Linux 2015.09). We haven’t tested CentOS 7 at all, but I don’t imagine there would be huge issues to overcome assuming the kernel versions don’t match ones with known problems with Mono. Mostly it’s a packaging exercise - for example systemd support. The commercial AWS packages for Amazon Linux contain all kinds of extra stuff for automatic configuration which would likely not be included in a CentOS package however.
