AWS supported software that extends cloud capabilities to local devices.
End of maintenance for AWS IoT Greengrass Core software v1.11.x Snap
On December 31, 2023, AWS IoT Greengrass will end maintenance for the AWS IoT Greengrass core software version 1.11.x Snap that is published on snapcraft.io
. Devices currently running the Snap will continue to work until further notice. However, the AWS IoT Greengrass core Snap will no longer receive security patches or bug fixes after maintenance ends.
AWS IoT Greengrass seamlessly extends AWS onto edge devices so they can act locally on the data they generate, while still using the cloud for management, analytics, and durable storage.
AWS IoT Greengrass snap v1.11.5 enables you to run a limited version of AWS IoT Greengrass with all necessary dependencies in a containerized environment.
The AWS IoT Greengrass snap doesn’t support connectors and machine learning (ML) inference.

Enable snaps on CentOS and install AWS IoT Greengrass
Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Enable snapd
Snap is available for CentOS 7.6+, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command:
sudo yum install epel-release
Snap can now be installed as follows:
sudo yum install snapd
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
