AWS announces availability of new Linux bundles for Amazon WorkSpaces Personal, including Rocky Linux 9, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9, and Ubuntu 24.04. With these bundles, customers can launch WorkSpaces powered by the latest enterprise-grade Linux operating systems and take advantage of modern versions of Linux packages only available in these updated releases.
While Rocky Linux 8, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, and Ubuntu 22.04 powered WorkSpaces bundles remain available, the new OS options bring access to the latest software ecosystems, improved security postures, and extended long-term support lifecycles offered by each respective distribution. These new bundles also provide a migration path for Amazon Linux 2 customers ahead of its end of life in June 2026.
You can get started using managed Rocky Linux 9, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9, or Ubuntu 24.04 WorkSpaces bundles by selecting one when creating a new Linux WorkSpace. These new bundles are available in all AWS Regions where Amazon WorkSpaces is available. For pricing information, visit the Amazon WorkSpaces pricing page.
