AWS 推出了第二代的官方 Linux AMI：「Introducing Amazon Linux 2」。這個版本提供五年 LTS 維護：
Amazon Linux 2 will offer extended availability of software updates for the core operating system through 5 years of long-term support and provides access to the latest software packages through the Amazon Linux Extras repository.
然後也大致提了一下內容物：
Amazon Linux 2 provides a modern execution environment with LTS Kernel (4.9) tuned for optimal performance on Amazon Web Services (AWS), systemd support, and newer tooling (gcc 7.2.1, glibc 2.25, binutils 2.27).
