Get your Amazon Linux 2 security plan in place
Since June 30, 2026, AWS has permanently stopped patching Amazon Linux 2. Every CVE discovered since that date goes unpatched, leaving your workloads exposed with no OS-level security coverage.
Migrating to Amazon Linux 2023 is the right long-term move, but it takes time your security posture doesn't have. TuxCare's Endless Lifecycle Support bridges the gap — keeping your AL2 instances fully patched while your teams migrate on their own schedule.
Keep Running. Skip the Risks.
Migrating off Amazon Linux 2 is rarely a simple lift-and-shift – differences in package versions, kernel behavior, and system libraries between AL2 and AL2023 mean thorough compatibility testing and often application-level changes before you can move safely.
Endless Lifecycle Support keeps your AL2 instances secure and supported after the end-of-life date – giving your team the runway to migrate properly.

How Does It Work?
We onboard new projects and enable 24/7 automated CVE tracking – monitoring the NVD, vendor, and GitHub security advisories, and other sources.
Once CVEs are detected, we backport upstream fixes using algorithmic and AI-assisted automation, with expert validation to ensure accuracy.
Patches are compiled in a binary format, extensively tested (for integrity, functionality, and regression), signed, and deployed to ELS repositories.
Your package managers, build tools, or orchestrators check for updates, then automatically pull and install them.
