如果你还不知道，亚马逊有自己的通用 Linux 发行版，自然而然，它被称为 Amazon Linux。


它的目的是在 AWS 服务器上使用。当你部署服务器时，你可以选择使用 Amazon Linux，或其他流行的选择，如 Ubuntu、Debian 等。由于它来自亚马逊，所以没有许可费，而且亚马逊对软件库和软件包进行控制。你可以期待它与 AWS 工具紧密结合，并通过它获得新的 AWS 创新。


Amazon Linux 2022（AL2022）是其版本 1 和 2 之后的下一个版本，它将在 2022 年发布（你可以从版本号上猜到）。


### 即将发布的 Amazon Linux 2022 只基于 Fedora


到目前为止，Amazon Linux 的发布是基于红帽 Linux 和 Fedora 两者的组合。从 AL2022 开始，它将明确使用 Fedora 作为上游。


此举意在为 AWS 客户“提供各种最新软件，如更新的语言运行时，作为季度发布的一部分”。


为了提高安全性，减少攻击面，AL2022 还将启用 [SELinux](https://linuxhandbook.com/selinux/) 并默认执行。


### 与 Ubuntu 相似的新发布模式


Amazon Linux 还选择了一个更可预测的发布时间表。每两年将发布一个新的 Amazon Linux 主要版本，并将支持五年。这样，用户就会知道何时以及如何升级他们的操作系统。


这种“每两年一个新的 LTS 版本和 5 年的支持”与 Ubuntu 如今的特点非常相似。


### 还有什么？


AL2022 也能锁定到亚马逊 Linux 软件包库的特定版本。这使得用户可以控制如何以及何时吸收更新。


Amazon Linux 2022 在所有的地理区域都可以作为预览版（即 beta 版）体验。你可以访问他们的 GitHub 页面了解更多关于 AL2022 的信息。

In case you did not know already, Amazon has its own general purpose Linux distribution, unsurprisingly called Amazon Linux.

It is intended to be used on AWS servers. When you are deploying a server, you have the choice to use Amazon Linux along with other popular choices of Ubuntu, Debian etc. Since it is from Amazon, there is no licensing fee and Amazon controls on repositories and packages. You can expect a tight integration with AWS tools and access to new AWS innovations with Amazon Linux.

Amazon Linux 2022 (AL2022) in the next release in the line of Amazon Linux 1 and 2 and it will be released in 2022 (you can guess that from the version number).

## Upcoming Amazon Linux 2022 uses only Fedora

Until now, Amazon Linux releases were based on a combination of Red Hat and Fedora both. Starting with AL2022, it will be explicitly using Fedora as upstream.

The move intends to provide the AWS customers “with a wide variety of the latest software, such as updated language runtimes, as part of quarterly releases”.

In order to improve the security, reduce attack surface, AL2022 will also have [SELinux](https://linuxhandbook.com/selinux/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) enabled and enforced by default.

## New release model similar to Ubuntu

Amazon Linux is also opting for a more predictable release schedule. A new major Amazon Linux version will be released every two years and will be supported for five years. This way users would know when and how to upgrade their operating system.

This “new LTS version every 2 years and 5 years support” is very similar to what Ubuntu features today.

## What else?

AL2022 also has the ability to lock to a specific version of the Amazon Linux package repository. This gives the user control over how and when they absorb updates.

Amazon Linux 2022 is available as preview (read beta) in all geographical regions. You can visit their GitHub page for more information on AL2022.
