# Release: Elastic Beanstalk Amazon Linux 2 platform updates on March 7, 2023 This release provides new versions for AWS Elastic Beanstalk platforms based on Amazon Linux 2. The release includes security updates. It also includes AMI, Nginx configuration, Apache httpd, ECS based Docker, Go, Tomcat, .NET Core, Node.js, PHP, Python, and Ruby updates. **Release date:** March 7, 2023 ## Changes The following table lists the changes included in this release. **Notes** These release notes focus on changes to currently supported platform branches. For full version information of Elastic Beanstalk retiring (deprecated) platform branches, see [Elastic Beanstalk platform versions scheduled for retirement](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/platforms/platforms-retiring.html) in the *AWS Elastic Beanstalk Platforms* guide. Be aware that at the time these release notes are published, the new platform versions might not yet be available in all the AWS Regions that Elastic Beanstalk supports. It might take a few hours for the release to complete. | **Category** | **Description** | | --- | --- | | **Component** | **Update** | | --- | --- | | **Platform** | **Update** | | --- | --- | | **Security updates** | Applied all security updates published in the [Amazon Linux Security Center](https://alas.aws.amazon.com/alas2.html) on or before **February 28, 2023** to all Amazon Linux 2 platforms.
Some of the platform updates are security releases. For more information, see **Platform-specific updates** in this table. | | **Cross-platform updates** | Made these cross-platform updates:[See the AWS documentation website for more details](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/relnotes/release-2023-03-07-linux.html) | | **Platform-specific updates** | Made these platform-specific updates:[See the AWS documentation website for more details](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/relnotes/release-2023-03-07-linux.html) | | **AMI** | Updated the base AMI to version 2.0.20230221. | | **Apache** | Updated platforms supporting the Apache HTTP Server 2.4 to version 2.4.55. For details, see [Changes with Apache 2.4.55](http://archive.apache.org/dist/httpd/CHANGES_2.4.55) on the *Apache Software Foundation* website.
The **Apache 2.4.55** release is a security release. | | **Nginx** | Disabled the `server_tokens` directive in the nginx configuration file by setting `server_tokens` `off`.
Nginx enables the `server_tokens` directive by default. This default setting allows the nginx version number to appear in all automatically generated error pages and in all HTTP responses in the server header. External knowledge of the nginx server version is unnecessary, so we've made this configuration change as a security hardening measure. For more information about the `server_tokens` directive, see the [ nginx documentation](http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#server_tokens). Also, see the [General Best Practices](https://www.nginx.com/blog/pci-dss-best-practices-with-nginx-plus/#General-Best-Practices) section of the *PCI DSS Best Practices with NGINX Plus* page on the nginx blog site. | | **Docker** | Updated Amazon ECS Agent to version **1.68.2** on the *ECS Amazon Linux 2* platform branch. This Docker platform update was subsequently released to the AWS Regions *China (Ningxia)—cn-northwest-1* and *China (Beijing)—cn-north-1* on [March 16, 2023](release-2023-03-16-linux.md). This March 7, 2023, release did not update the Docker platform branches for the AWS China Regions regions. | | **Go** | Updated Go to release 1.20.1. For details, see [go1.20](https://go.dev/doc/devel/release#go1.20) in *The Go Programming Language Release History*.
This is a security release. | | **.NET Core** | Updated .NET Core to release [6.0.14](https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/release-notes/6.0/6.0.14/6.0.14.md#notable-changes) .
This is a security release. | | **Node.js** | Updated Node.js 16 to add support for Node version [16.9.1](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v16.19.1/).
Updated Node.js 14 to add support for Node versions [14.21.3](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v14.21.3/). | | **PHP** | Updated PHP 8.1 release to [8.1.16](https://www.php.net/releases/8_1_16.php).
Updated PHP 8.0 release to [8.0.27](https://www.php.net/releases/8_0_27.php).
Both of these updates are security releases. PHP 7.4 is a retiring (deprecated) platform branch. For full version information of Elastic Beanstalk retiring platform branches, see [Elastic Beanstalk platform versions scheduled for retirement](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/platforms/platforms-retiring.html) in the *AWS Elastic Beanstalk Platforms* guide. | | **Python** | Updated Pipenv to release 2023.2.18. For details, see the Pipenv [Release and Version History](https://pipenv.pypa.io/en/latest/changelog/). This Python platform update was subsequently released to the AWS Regions *China (Ningxia)—cn-northwest-1* and *China (Beijing)—cn-north-1* on [March 16, 2023](release-2023-03-16-linux.md). This March 7, 2023, release did not update the Python platform branches for the AWS China Regions regions. | | **Ruby** | Updated RubyGems to release 3.4.7. For details, see [3.4.7 Released](https://blog.rubygems.org/2023/02/15/3.4.7-released.html) on the *RubyGems blog*. | ## New platform versions **Note** The following tables list all supported platform branches for each platform.
