Release: Elastic Beanstalk launches public beta Corretto platforms based on Amazon Linux 2 on November 25, 2019

AWS Elastic Beanstalk is releasing Amazon Corretto platform versions based on the Amazon Linux 2 operating system (OS), available as a public beta program.

Release date: November 25, 2019

Changes

Today we're starting a public beta program for customers who want to try out running their Elastic Beanstalk applications on the newer AWS Linux distribution known as Amazon Linux 2. We're initially releasing two Amazon Linux 2 platform versions for Amazon Corretto (one for Corretto 8 and one for Corretto 11). Amazon Corretto is an AWS distribution of the Open Java Development Kit (OpenJDK). We're working on adding additional platform versions based on Amazon Linux 2 for other languages to the beta program.

This is a beta release, and we recommend that you don't use these beta platform versions for production environments. We might change some naming and implementation details before we fully support these platforms. In addition, Amazon Linux 2 platforms are missing some features in the beta versions. We're working on adding support for these features. Here's a list of features that aren't supported at this time.

For a list of beta program platform versions, see Elastic Beanstalk Platform Versions in Public Beta. For considerations about migrating your existing Elastic Beanstalk application to Amazon Linux 2, see Migrating Your Linux Application to Amazon Linux 2.
