So general question whats the difference between the digital ocean install and AWS Discourse certified by Bitnami
Discourse does not support (as helps to troubleshoot) any other installation method that’s different from their guide. That image is updated and managed by Bitnami, and my understanding was that it was broken (at least the last time I heard something about it).
The thing is, Discourse team ensures everything will work when using their install guide, everything else, is 100% on you.

I’m not asking for support I’m simply asking what the difference is cause I always see that
That’s it. You won’t get support, the image is not done by Discourse, so they won’t ensure it represents the one here, that’s totally it.

No problem. I’ve been in that position as I’ve been tinkering with the idea of changing from Digital Ocean a few times, trying to lower the maintenance costs.
But I really haven’t found any other solution that’s really cheaper with the same or better performance.

And it likely won’t work. And none of the documentation here will help you. You can get help from the bitnami forum, though.
