Aws Embraces Fedora Linux For Its Cloud Based Amazon Linux

To improve its overall security,  AL2022 comes with SELinux enabled and enforced by default. SELinux’s fundamental security approach, restricting everything unless explicitly permitted, is the polar opposite of Linux’s default security policy, permitting everything unless explicitly forbidden. But when properly deployed, SELinux vastly improves your security. By setting it up from the get-go, AL2022 will help you lock down your instances’ security before attackers can target you. AL2022 is now available in preview in all commercial regions. You can launch AL2022 from AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell, RunInstances, or via an AWS CloudFormation template.  This distribution is being released in a two-year release cycle, and it will also be supported for five years. So, if you standardize on AL2022, you’ll be supported until 2027.
