Overview
Amazon Linux 2 is a Linux distribution that is designed to be highly compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and offers long-term support, security updates, and performance enhancements. The Linux kernel is the core component of the operating system that manages the system's resources and provides an interface for other software to interact with the hardware. This product has associated charges for the support provided and the Pre-configured stack.
As of February 2023, the latest version of Amazon Linux 2 uses the Linux kernel version 4.14. The version of the Linux kernel that is used can affect the performance, stability, and compatibility of the operating system, so it is important to keep it up-to-date with security patches and bug fixes.
That being said, it is possible to install a different version of the Linux kernel on Amazon Linux 2, including version 5.10, which is a Long Term Support (LTS) release of the kernel. However, doing so requires some technical knowledge and may not be supported by Amazon Web Services (AWS), the provider of Amazon Linux 2.
If you are considering installing a different kernel version, it is recommended to consult the documentation and support resources provided by the Linux distribution or the vendor of the software that requires a specific kernel version to ensure that the new kernel is compatible with your system and software.
Highlights
- Kernel version 5.10 is a long-term support (LTS) release, which means that it will receive security updates and bug fixes for a longer period of time than non-LTS releases. This makes it a good choice for systems that require long-term stability and reliability.
- Amazon Linux 2 is designed to be highly compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), which means that many applications and software packages that are designed to run on RHEL will also work on Amazon Linux 2. This can be a big advantage for users who need to run enterprise-level software on their systems.
- While it is possible to install a different version of the Linux kernel on Amazon Linux 2, doing so may not be supported by Amazon Web Services (AWS), the provider of Amazon Linux 2. Users who require a specific kernel version for their software or applications should consult with the vendor or the Linux distribution's documentation to ensure compatibility and support.
