Amazon denied Talos Linux on the AWS Marketplace because they don't run SSH
twitter.comUpon contacting AWS account manager:
> Yes, our aws account manager was great and tried to get an exception, but the exception was denied as there is no revenue coming from marketplace from us… not surprising since they won’t let us on marketplace. Another catch22!
Twitter flagged the tweet as offensive, but AWS reached out and suggested filing a ticket through a different channel.
Similar struggles lead me to roll my own AMI of Arch Linux using Conrad Hoffmann's guide.

I have since created my own Gist for future use, as well.
