# Images
The default images for Kops clusters are based on Debian 9 (Stretch). These images are built by the [kubernetes-sigs/image-builder](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/image-builder/tree/master/images/kube-deploy/imagebuilder) project for each Kubernetes release and are available for any other use under the `kope.io` account.
You can choose a different image for an instance group by editing it with `kops edit ig nodes`. You should see an `image` field in one of the following formats:
* `ami-abcdef` - specifies an AMI by id directly
* `<owner>/<name>` specifies an AMI by its owner's account ID and name properties
* `<alias>/<name>` specifies an AMI by its owner's alias and name properties
Using the AMI id is precise, but ids vary by region. It is often more convenient to use the `<owner/alias>/<name>`, if equivalent images have been copied to various regions with the same name.
Kops supports owner aliases for the official accounts of supported distros:
* `kope.io` => `383156758163`
* `amazon` => `137112412989`
* `centos` => `679593333241`
* `debian9` => `379101102735`
* `debian10` => `136693071363`
* `flatcar` => `075585003325`
* `redhat` => `309956199498`
* `ubuntu` => `099720109477`
For example, to use Ubuntu 20.04, you could specify:
```yaml
image: ami-00579fbb15b954340
```
or
```yaml
image: 099720109477/ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-focal-20.04-amd64-server-20200423
```
or
```yaml
image: ubuntu/ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-focal-20.04-amd64-server-20200423
```
You can find the name for an image using:
`aws ec2 describe-images --region us-east-1 --image-id ami-00579fbb15b954340`

## Kope.io
The default images from `kope.io` are based on Debian 9 (Stretch). These images include all the necessary files and packages to run Kubernetes, making node startup faster. Other than that, the changes to the official Debian images are [minimal](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/image-builder/tree/master/images/kube-deploy/imagebuilder/templates).
The latest image names are kept in the [stable channel manifest](https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/blob/master/channels/stable), but all available images can be listed using:
```bash
aws ec2 describe-images --region us-east-1 --output table \
--owners 383156758163 \
--query "sort_by(Images, &CreationDate)[*].[CreationDate,Name,ImageId]" \
--filters "Name=name,Values=*-debian-stretch-*"
```
## Debian 9 (Stretch)
Debian 9 is based on Kernel version **4.9** which has number of known bugs that affect it and may be noticed with larger clusters:
* [kubernetes/kubernetes#56903](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/56903)
* [kubernetes/kubernetes#67577](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/67577)
Available images can be listed using:
```bash
aws ec2 describe-images --region us-east-1 --output table \
--owners 379101102735 \
--query "sort_by(Images, &CreationDate)[*].[CreationDate,Name,ImageId]" \
--filters "Name=name,Values=debian-stretch-hvm-x86_64-gp2-*"
```
## Debian 10 (Buster)
Debian 10 is based on Kernel version **4.19** which fixes some of the bugs present in Debian 9 and effects are less visible.
One notable change is the addition of `iptables` NFT, which is by default. This is not yet supported by most CNI plugins and seems to be [slower](https://youtu.be/KHMnC3kj3Js?t=771) than the legacy version. It is recommended to switch to `iptables` legacy by using the following script in `additionalUserData` for each instance group:
```yaml
additionalUserData:
- name: busterfix.sh
type: text/x-shellscript
content: |
#!/bin/sh
update-alternatives --set iptables /usr/sbin/iptables-legacy
update-alternatives --set ip6tables /usr/sbin/ip6tables-legacy
update-alternatives --set arptables /usr/sbin/arptables-legacy
update-alternatives --set ebtables /usr/sbin/ebtables-legacy
```
Available images can be listed using:
```bash
aws ec2 describe-images --region us-east-1 --output table \
--owners 136693071363 \
--query "sort_by(Images, &CreationDate)[*].[CreationDate,Name,ImageId]" \
--filters "Name=name,Values=debian-10-amd64-*"
```
## Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic)
Ubuntu 18.04 is based on Kernel version **4.15** which has number of known bugs that affect it and may be noticed with larger clusters:
* [kubernetes/kubernetes#56903](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/56903)
* [kubernetes/kubernetes#67577](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/67577)
Available images can be listed using:
```bash
aws ec2 describe-images --region us-east-1 --output table \
--owners 099720109477 \
--query "sort_by(Images, &CreationDate)[*].[CreationDate,Name,ImageId]" \
--filters "Name=name,Values=ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-bionic-18.04-amd64-*"
```
## Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal)
Ubuntu 20.04 is based on Kernel version **5.4** which fixes all the known major Kernel bugs.
Available images can be listed using:
```bash
aws ec2 describe-images --region us-east-1 --output table \
--owners 099720109477 \
--query "sort_by(Images, &CreationDate)[*].[CreationDate,Name,ImageId]" \
--filters "Name=name,Values=ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-focal-20.04-amd64-*"
```
## CentOS 7
CentOS 7 is based on Kernel version **3.10** which has a considerable number of known bugs that affect it and may be noticed in production clusters:
* [kubernetes/kubernetes#56903](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/56903)
* [kubernetes/kubernetes#67577](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/67577)
Before using CentOS images you must accept the agreement at https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp?sku=aw0evgkw8e5c1q413zgy5pjce.
The minimum supported version is **7.4**. Available images can be listed using:
```bash
aws ec2 describe-images --region us-east-1 --output table \
--owners 679593333241 \
--query "sort_by(Images, &CreationDate)[*].[CreationDate,Name,ImageId]" \
--filters "Name=product-code,Values=aw0evgkw8e5c1q413zgy5pjce" "Name=name,Values=CentOS*"
```
## RHEL 7
RHEL 7 is based on Kernel version **3.10** which has a considerable number of known bugs that affect it and may be noticed in production clusters:
* [kubernetes/kubernetes#56903](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/56903)
* [kubernetes/kubernetes#67577](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/67577)
The minimum supported version is **7.4**. Available images can be listed using:
```bash

--filters "Name=name,Values=RHEL-7.*x86_64*"
```
## CentOS 8
The CentOS Project doesn't provide any official images in AWS at the moment.
Please [report](https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/issues/new/choose) any changes.
## RHEL 8
RHEL 8 is based on Kernel version **4.18** which fixes some of the bugs present in RHEL/CentOS 7 and effects are less visible.
One notable change is the addition of `iptables` NFT, which is the only iptables backend available. This is not yet supported by most CNI plugins and should be used with care.
Available images can be listed using:
```bash
aws ec2 describe-images --region us-east-1 --output table \
--owners 309956199498 \
--query "sort_by(Images, &CreationDate)[*].[CreationDate,Name,ImageId]" \
--filters "Name=name,Values=RHEL-8.*x86_64*"
```
## Amazon Linux 2
Amazon Linux 2 is based on Kernel version **4.19** which fixes some of the bugs present in RHEL/CentOS 7 and effects are less visible.
Available images can be listed using:
```bash
aws ec2 describe-images --region us-east-1 --output table \
--owners 137112412989 \

Support for Debian 8 (Jessie) is deprecated and will be removed in Kops 1.18.
## Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial)
Support for Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) is deprecated and will be removed in Kops 1.20.
