Releases are only tagged but not published

Would be nice if the releases of efs-utils would be published, so that they are reachable via the Github-API. In the moment an API-call for the the latest release:

curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/aws/efs-utils/releases/latest

will only show an error-message

{
"message": "Not Found",
"documentation_url": "https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/releases/#get-the-latest-release"
}

Other aws-projects (e.g. aws-toolkit-vscode) support the releases via API:

curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/aws/aws-toolkit-vscode/releases/latest

If the releases get published the latest release would also be flagged on the WebUI with a green label saying "Latest release"

Would be happy for a fixed repository, thanks alot.

Thanks for the feedback. We’ll have someone take a look and post a more detailed response once we better understand the issue.

It would be really nice if releases could have built packages as well, so that an EC2 instance running Ubuntu could just pull down a .deb package and install it instead of having to build it locally, and install binutils and stuff.

Weird. Why not publish "releases" of this software? Consistent with other AWS offerings...
