Deprecated functionality in AL2027
AL2027 Preview
AL2027 is currently available for preview. It is intended for evaluation and testing only and is not recommended for production workloads.
This chapter covers functionality that was present in AL2023 and is removed in AL2027, and functionality that remains in AL2027 but is deprecated. Understanding both helps you migrate to AL2027 and prepare for future versions of Amazon Linux.
Functionality deprecated in AL1 or AL2 and removed in earlier versions remains unavailable in AL2027. For that history, see Deprecated functionality in AL2023.
compat- library packages
Packages with the compat- prefix provide binary compatibility with
binaries built against older library versions. Each major version of Amazon Linux does not carry
forward the compat- library packages of prior releases, and any it introduces
are deprecated from the start. Rebuild software against the current library versions rather
than relying on compat- packages.
