10/20/2023, 1:32 PM(unofficial opinion, just my own experience) I'd recommend using Amazon Linux if you're on AWS

10/20/2023, 1:41 PMI've used both, would recommend AL2023 because it's newer.

And why is it not in the SO matrix that shows rke2?b

10/20/2023, 1:43 PMAZ2 would fall under RHEL 7, AZ23 falls under RHEL 8

10/20/2023, 1:44 PMI don't know if it is explicitly supported, I'd defer to someone actually on the rancher team to answer that. But I have had no problems in my experience

10/20/2023, 1:47 PMI have used rancher and rke on AWS in Ubuntu for 4 years and I want to update it, and I want to evaluate a new option, in every aspect... If it is not AWS, another cloud or another. alternative have you had to use that you recommend?

10/20/2023, 1:48 PMI don't have any other specific recommendation, I'll leave it up to others to comment

10/20/2023, 1:52 PMRemember that the support matrix shows what they've taken the time to test and document and make things easier with it's expected setup. As long as it's close to one of those, you're probably in three nines territory of safety, though every step farther you get a higher chance of odd problems, but if you wanted to put the time into it and didn't mind doing lots of debugging you could probably get it working with any distro, just a question of how much time you'd spend debugging and fixing things or using a different kernel build than the distro provides, etc.
