Is there an AMI list for every popular distribution and Linux version

I need to test a piece of software for each distribution / linux version. I am going to use amazon AWS. Is there an AMI list somewhere that I can just copy paste into my script to automate this tedious process?

Amazon provides a list on its website. https://aws.amazon.com/amis

In fact, I was sure that it is also possible to capture and filter the list through the API, but, unfortunately, I can not find the documentation about this (imaginary?) Function

You can get the AMI from aws

The following shows how

Find Linux AMI Using the Images Page

  • Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/ .

  • In the navigation bar, select a region. You can choose any region that is available to you, regardless of your location. This is the region where you run your instance.

  • In the navigation bar, select AMI.

  • (Optional) Use the filter options to view a list of displayed AMIs, to see only the AMI you are interested in. For example, to list all AMI RAM provided by AWS, select Public Images. Select the search bar and select "Owner" in the menu, then select "Amazons." Select the search bar again to select "Platform" and then the operating system from the list provided.

  • (Optional) Select the Show / Hide Columns icon to select which image attributes will be displayed, such as the type of root device. In addition, you can select AMI from the list and view its properties on the Details tab.

  • The AMI ID for the selected platform and distribution will be displayed on the AMI ID tab

I do not know about other Linux distributions, but Ubuntu has its own web page and kinds of APIs for official images of ubuntu ec2

And Amazon Linux, in my opinion, is based on CentOS, http://aws.amazon.com/amazon-linux-ami
