Java 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.

AL2027 provides several versions of Amazon Corretto to support Java-based workloads. All Java-based packages included in AL2027 are built with Amazon Corretto 25.

Amazon Corretto is a build of the Open Java Development Kit (OpenJDK) with long-term support from Amazon. Amazon Corretto is certified using the Java Technical Compatibility Kit (TCK) to ensure that it meets the Java SE standard. Amazon Corretto runs on Linux, Windows, and macOS.

There is an Amazon Corretto package available for each of Corretto 1.8.0, 11, 17, 21, and 25.

Amazon Linux supports each Amazon Corretto version in AL2027 for the same duration as the upstream Corretto version. Support ends when the Corretto version reaches end of life, or when AL2027 reaches end of life, whichever comes first. For more information about Amazon Corretto support timelines, see the Amazon Corretto FAQs.
