Amazon Linux 2023 version 2023.0.20230503 release notes

This topic includes release notes for the 2023.0.20230503 version of AL2023.

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.

  • The AMI deprecation time has changed to 90 days (from the AMI registration timestamp) instead of the current default of two years. We will also be updating the existing AL2023 releases to deprecate at 90 days from registration. For more information about AMI deprecation, see Deprecate an AMI.

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

Known Issues

  • 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.
