Major updates

This release represents an update to the General Availability (GA) release of Amazon Linux 2023 (AL2023). AL2023 is the next generation of Amazon Linux. It comes with 5 years of support and brings features like Deterministic Updates, better optimizations for Graviton processors and others into Amazon Linux. AL2023 is ready for customer production workloads, and customers are encouraged to start migrations from previous versions of Amazon Linux today.

See the Amazon Linux What's New Post for more information about AL2023.

AL2023 includes the following major updates.

  • Image Builder support for AL2023 has been enabled.

  • Amazon Inspector support for AL2023 has been enabled.

  • codedeploy agent support for AL2023 has been enabled (for codedeploy agent 1.6.0 and higher).

  • Release candidate AMIs for AL2023 have been deprecated. Any launched Amazon EC2 instances based off release candidate AMIs will continue to function. It is strongly recommended that you migrate to the latest available AL2023 AMIs.

  • For an in-depth look at the changes since Amazon Linux 2, see Comparing Amazon Linux 2 and AL2023.

Known Issues
  • dnf supportinfo --show all causes a Python stacktrace. We are working on a fix.

  • When upgrading an instance from AL2023 RC1 or earlier, in order to avoid a boot order issue, you will need to add the following to /etc/default/grub before upgrading in order to get the kernel update:

    GRUB_DEFAULT=saved GRUB_UPDATE_DEFAULT_KERNEL=true
  • AL2023 contains a known issue where customer defined NTP servers via DHCP are not honored.

    Work-Around - Configure the NTP servers using a config file in /etc/chrony.d

  • AL2023 is not yet FIPS certified. It is in process of being certified for FIPS 140-3.
