Hi, it's Shiichan! Folks using Linux desktops on WorkSpaces now have new OS choices.

AWS What's New aws.amazon.com

What was announced?

AWS What's New says Amazon WorkSpaces Personal has new Linux bundles:

  • Rocky Linux 10
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10
  • Ubuntu 26.04 LTS

What changes

With these bundles you can launch WorkSpaces on the latest enterprise Linux operating systems and use newer software packages that are only available in these releases.

The bundles feature modern Wayland display technology, giving you access to the latest Linux desktop capabilities. The new OS options also bring stronger security and longer support lifecycles from each distribution.

Dive Deep

Impact on existing setups and scope:

  • These bundles remain available: Rocky Linux 8 and 9, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and 9, and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and 24.04 LTS
  • Existing WorkSpaces keep running with no changes. You can move users to the new operating systems once your applications and workflows are ready
  • To get started, select a managed Rocky Linux 10, RHEL 10 or Ubuntu 26.04 LTS bundle when you create a new Linux WorkSpace
  • Sizes: Standard, Performance, Power and PowerPro
  • Available in all AWS Regions where Amazon WorkSpaces is available

For the full list of supported operating systems, see Bundles and images for WorkSpaces Personal. For pricing, see the Amazon WorkSpaces pricing page.

Wrap-up

  • Rocky Linux 10, RHEL 10 and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS bundles are added to WorkSpaces Personal
  • Wayland-based, with newer packages and longer support lifecycles
  • Existing WorkSpaces and older bundles are unaffected
  • Four sizes, in all supported Regions

This is for admins and developers who provide Linux desktops through WorkSpaces!
