Starting with :ref:`Neuron Release 2.33.0 <neuron-2-33-0-whatsnew>`, Neuron no longer
supports Amazon Linux 2 (AL2). The Neuron Driver (``aws-neuronx-dkms``), previously the

Linux 2 reached end of life on June 30, 2026.

Customers using Amazon Linux 2 must migrate to Amazon Linux 2023 (AL2023). For supported
operating systems and migration options, see :ref:`neuron-dlami-overview`. For Amazon
Linux 2 end-of-life details, see the `Amazon Linux 2 FAQs
