https://aws.amazon.com/polly/ I am excited to announce the general availability of https://aws.amazon.com/linux/amazon-linux-2022 (AL2023). Every generation of Amazon Linux distribution is secured, optimized for the cloud, and receives long-term AWS support.

The distribution locks to a specific version of the Amazon Linux package repository, giving you control over how and when you absorb updates. By default, and in contrast with Amazon Linux 2, a dnf update command will not update your installed packages (dnf is the successor to yum).

Amazon Linux 2023 provides updated versions of open-source software, a larger variety of packages, and frequent releases.
