**AL2027 Preview**  
 AL2027 is currently available for preview, for more information see the [ AL2027 User Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/linux/al2027/ug/what-is.html). It is intended for evaluation and testing only and is not recommended for production workloads.

**AL2027 Preview AMI SSM Parameters**  
 During the AL2027 preview, only SSM parameters that use the `kernel-default` alias (for example, `al2027-preview-ami-kernel-default-x86_64`) are supported. SSM parameters that reference a specific kernel version, such as `kernel-7.1` and `kernel-7.2`, will be deleted on October 31, 2026. Use `kernel-default` to always resolve the latest preview AMI with the current default kernel; version-specific kernel SSM parameters will become available when AL2027 reaches general availability (GA).
