In GitLab 19.1, we are removing Amazon Linux 2 (AL2) package builds for the Linux package. Amazon Linux 2 reaches end of life in June 2026 and will no longer receive security updates after that date. In accordance with our [Linux package supported platforms policy](https://docs.gitlab.com/install/package/#supported-platforms), we drop package builds once a vendor stops supporting the operating system, with at least a six-month announcement period. If you currently run GitLab on Amazon Linux 2, you must migrate to Amazon Linux 2023 (AL2023) or another [supported operating system](https://docs.gitlab.com/install/package/#supported-platforms) before upgrading to GitLab 19.1. Amazon provides [migration documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/using-features.migration-al.generic.from-al2.html) to help you move from AL2 to AL2023. Please share your feedback, concerns, or use cases related to this change.
