Michael, As it was mentioned, el7 agents are used on Amazon Linux 2, which is still supported until 2025-06-30. Not providing updates for aarch64 platform exposes clients of Puppet Enterprise to vulnerabilities and makes solution less competitive to alternative offerings. Puppet should reconsider the decision. https://www.puppet.com/docs/pe/2021.7/supported_operating_systems.html lists a lot of el7/aarch64 as supported - it is strange to single out AL2/aarch64 from that list
