Amazon EC2 instance types supported by AL1 - Amazon Linux 1

Amazon EC2 instance types supported by AL1

Warning

Amazon Linux 1 (AL1, formerly Amazon Linux AMI) is no longer supported. This guide is available only for reference purposes.

Note

AL1 is no longer the current version of Amazon Linux. AL2023 is the successor to AL1 and AL2. For more information about what's new in AL2023, see Comparing AL1 and AL2023 section in the AL2023 User Guide and the list of Package changes in AL2023.

Support for newer instance types will not be added to AL1 because AL1 is EOL.

The supported Amazon EC2 instance types evolved over the life time of AL1. The following table represents the set of supported instance types at AL1 EOL in December 2023.
