Description

A number of extensions currently fail to install on Rocky Linux 8.5 due to hard coded compatibility checks based on distribution and version.

AzurePolicyforLinux was the only successful installation. The others are either stuck in Transitioning or Provisioning Failed and the log message for such is tied to: "unsupported distro rocky 8.5"

Rocky Linux is self described as "an open-source enterprise operating system designed to be 100% bug-for-bug compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux."

Additionally, the Azure marketplace has had Rocky offerings for several months now:
- "Rocky Linux 8 from OpenLogic by Perforce"
- "Rocky Linux 8" by ProComputers.com

Due to the compatibility between EL8 distributions, when can it be expected for Rocky Linux to be included in those compatibility checks? Please reference issue #992 for which has been already resolved.

Is there anything a user can do in order to either assist with the effort or accept any concerns and have the extensions install without the checks? Thank you for any assistance.
