Release: Elastic Beanstalk Amazon Linux 2 platform updates on August 4, 2020

This release provides new versions for AWS Elastic Beanstalk platforms based on Amazon Linux 2. The release includes security updates. The release solves several Amazon Linux 2 platform compatibility issues. It also includes nginx, Go, Corretto, Tomcat, Node.js, .NET Core, and PHP updates.

Release date: August 4, 2020

Changes

This update plugs several gaps that the Amazon Linux 2 platforms had compared to previous Amazon Linux AMI platforms. Amazon Linux 2 platform functionality is now much closer to previous platforms. The fixes are listed in the table below.

Some remaining gaps are related to underlying operating system changes. For an example to such a case and a way to fix it, see Log streaming file for Amazon Linux 2 on the elastic-beanstalk-samples GitHub repository.

Minor gaps that still exist on the platform side include:

  • The Tomcat Amazon Linux 2 platform doesn't support version 2.2 of the Apache HTTPD proxy server.

  • The Tomcat and Node.js Amazon Linux 2 platforms don't support the GzipCompression option.

Other features are supported but have to be configured differently on Amazon Linux 2 platforms. For a detailed migration guide, see Migrating your Elastic Beanstalk Linux application to Amazon Linux 2 in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide.

The following table lists the changes included in this release.

Note

Be aware that at the time these release notes are published, the new platform versions might not yet be available in all the AWS Regions that Elastic Beanstalk supports. It might take a few hours for the release to complete.

Category Description

Security updates

Applied all security updates published in the Amazon Linux Security Center on or before July 15, 2020 to all Amazon Linux 2 platforms.

The PHP 7.2.31 release includes security fixes. For more information, see Platform-specific updates in this table.

Cross-platform updates

Made these cross-platform updates:

Component Update

Apache HTTPD support

Initially, Amazon Linux 2 platform branches supported only the nginx proxy server. Today we're bringing back support for Apache HTTPD on platforms that supported it before: Tomcat, Node.js, PHP, and Python. See specific platform notes under Platform-specific updates on this page.

get-config script

A shell script called get-config exists on Amazon Linux AMI platform branches, officially supported only for custom platforms, but heavily used for managed platform configuration too. Initially, it didn't exist on Amazon Linux 2 platform versions. Today we're bringing back this script to Amazon Linux 2 platform branches as a fully supported extensibility mechanism. You can use this script to get environment variable values and other information in hooks that run on-instance in environments launched with your platform. For details, see Platform scripts in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide.

Configuration hooks

Initially, Amazon Linux 2 platform versions supported platform hooks, executable files that run during application deployments, when your source bundle is deployed to environment instances. Today we're adding support for configuration hooks that run during configuration deployments, when configuration options are updated on running instances. To learn more, expand the Platform hooks section on the Extending Elastic Beanstalk Linux platforms page in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide.

Event messages

Initially, Amazon Linux 2 platform branches didn't send event messages to the event log. Today we're adding support for event messages to all Amazon Linux 2 platform branches. For details about event viewing, see Viewing an Elastic Beanstalk environment's event stream in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide.

nginx

Updated platforms supporting the nginx server to version 1.18.0.

Platform-specific updates

Made these platform-specific updates:

Platform Update

Go

Updated Go to release 1.14.6. For details, see go1.14 in The Go Programming Language Release History.

Corretto

Updated Corretto 11 to version 11.0.8.10.1. For change log, see Change Log for Amazon Corretto 11.

Updated Corretto 8 to version 8.262.10.1. For change log, see Change Log for Amazon Corretto 8.

Tomcat

Updated Tomcat 8.5 to Tomcat 8.5.56.

Node.js

Updated the Node.js platform to add support for Node versions 12.18.3, 12.18.2, and 10.22.0.

.NET Core

Updated .NET Core 3.1 to version 3.1.6.

Updated .NET Core 2.1 to version 2.1.20.

PHP

Updated PHP 7.4, 7.3, and 7.2 to releases 7.4.7, 7.3.19, and 7.2.31, respectively.

The PHP 7.2.31 release includes security fixes.
