How to try adding a new distribution without the AWS dependency?

[joaopgrassi]

Hi, first I wanted to say this is a great project, thanks for all the awesome work!

I saw the documentation on How to add support for a new distribution which is great, but in the Deploy section, it mentions the need for using AWS to deploy resources.

Is it possible to try everything locally, without the need for a AWS subscription? I'm interested in adding a new distribution but hit this bar of needing an AWS account.

Hey @joaopgrassi,

right now, the deploy section does indeed require AWS. We haven't invested much into making this aspect easier, as not many folks have thus far been wanting to add their distro (and we don't expect this to happen frequently).

Once the first integration is done, we have automatic checks in place for all distros + automatic update PRs.

I would be happy to iterate together with you once you have followed the steps from the guide! :)

Alright! I will try next week to add our distro then! Cheers!
