New Linux Bundles for Amazon WorkSpaces Personal

AWS has introduced new Linux bundles for Amazon WorkSpaces Personal, including Rocky Linux 10, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. These bundles offer the latest enterprise Linux operating systems and software packages, enhanced security, and longer support lifecycles.

The new bundles feature modern Wayland display technology, providing access to the latest Linux desktop capabilities. Existing WorkSpaces powered by Rocky Linux 8 and 9, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and 9, and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and 24.04 LTS remain available, allowing you to transition to the new OS options at your own pace.

What to do

  • Select a managed Rocky Linux 10, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, or Ubuntu 26.04 LTS bundle when creating a new Linux WorkSpace.
  • Ensure your applications and workflows are compatible before moving users to the new operating systems.
  • Monitor your existing WorkSpaces for any necessary updates or migrations.
