Known Issues

No option to edit a module for a group

Details
Autonomous Linux doesn't provide an option to edit a module for a group using the Console at this time.
Workaround
We're working on a resolution. As a workaround, you can use the API or CLI to edit the module. Or, in the Console you can first remove the module and then add the module with the updated module stream configuration.

Can't use private or third-party repositories

Details
You can't use your own private or third-party yum repositories or mirrors with Autonomous Linux. The service, however, doesn't interact with nor interfere with content from these repositories.
Workaround

We're working on a resolution to manage content from private and third-party repositories using Autonomous Linux.

As a workaround, you can manually add custom repository files to /etc/yum.repos.d on an instance registered with Autonomous Linux and then manage those repositories outside of the service. Autonomous Linux won't disable these repositories. However, scheduled update jobs won't update content from private or third-party repositories.
