Fri, 04 Sep 2026 14:38:54 +0000

Platform/SRE — Learn: AL2027 preview surfaces meaningful changes — kernel 7.1+, SELinux enforcing by default, AWS-LC crypto — worth evaluating against workloads built on AL2023, but no migration decision is warranted before GA.
CI/CD — Learn: Container base images are available on ECR Public Gallery in preview, useful for early pipeline testing against AL2027, but nothing to pin or migrate to before GA.
Leader — Skip
Signals: pre-GA (alpha/beta/RC/preview)
