Amazon Linux 2023: Why we’re moving to AL2023

Amazon Linux 2023 (AL2023) represents the latest iteration of Amazon Linux, offering significant enhancements in reliability, security, and flexibility, alongside a predictable release cycle and long-term support. This new version, ideal for general-purpose applications on AWS, retains the no-cost licensing while integrating seamlessly with AWS features. Key security enhancements, such as SELinux, kernel live-patching, and revised cryptographic policies, simplify compliance requirements. Coralogix, an AWS Partner Network Advanced Technology Partner, is migrating to AL2023 to leverage these benefits, enhancing their ability to deliver high-quality and secure software. The migration aligns with Coralogix's ongoing partnership with AWS, as they continue to provide analytics and insights into AWS infrastructure through their platform.
