Amazon Linux 2023 version 2023.8.20250915 release notes

These are the release notes for Amazon Linux 2023 (AL2023) version 2023.8.20250915.

Release Summary

This release represents an update to the 8th quarterly release of AL2023. AL2023 is the next generation of Amazon Linux. It comes with five years of support and brings features such as deterministic updates and better optimizations for Graviton processors into Amazon Linux. AL2023 is ready for production workloads, and you can start migrating from previous versions of Amazon Linux today.

Notable updates

  • CUDA 13.0 does not have support for P3 instance family. If you are running workloads on P3 instances, ensure you use a compatible CUDA version that supports the Tesla V100 GPUs available in P3 instances.

  • NVIDIA removed the dependency for nvidia-driver-cuda from the nvidia-driver meta-package. Starting with CUDA 13.0, the version provided in this release, customers need to include nvidia-driver-cuda in their install scripts to get the same experience as before.
