Support for Centos 9/Amazon Linux 2023

[nandac]

@finalduty Is there any chance that Centos 9 or Amazon Linux 2023 hosts will be supported in the future?

I know this would be quite an ask but the benchmarking script works great for Amazon Linux 2 and just wanted to check if something was on the cards.

Cheers

Hey @nandac, sorry for the slow reply.

I'm currently working through setting up to support for multiple OSs at a time, with an emphasis on automated testing for each OS.

There is no published CIS Standard for CentOS Stream 9 and I suspect there won't be one. So I am instead planning on indirectly supporting it (and other Red Hat clones) via the Red Hat standards.

I am planning to have Red Hat 8 support added in the near future, with Red Hat 9 support to follow shortly after.

I don't currently have a plan for supporting Amazon Linux, though given it's similarity with Red Hat, this should be fairly straightforward to implement at some point.
