Elastic Beanstalk is retiring these platform branches because Amazon Linux 2 has reached its End of Life (EOL) on June 30, 2026.
Elastic Beanstalk does not provide new maintenance updates for retired platform branches. If you currently use one of these retired platform branches, we strongly recommend that you migrate to a current, fully supported AL2023 platform branch. For more information, see Migrating your Elastic Beanstalk Linux application from Amazon Linux 2 to AL2023 in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide.
For more information about platform retirement, see Elastic Beanstalk platform support policy in the AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide.
