[Swift.org](http://swift.org/) will stop providing new Amazon Linux 2 nightly toolchains starting Today for main and release/6.4.x. Therefore, Swift 6.4 and later releases will not support Amazon Linux 2.

[Amazon Linux 2](https://aws.amazon.com/amazon-linux-2/) has reached End of Life.

> - Amazon Linux 2 end of support date (End of Life, or EOL) will be on 2026-06-30.

This is also coupled with adding support for Amazon Linux 2023, right?

Yes, we already support Amazon Linux 2023.

I think what Jake means is that AL2023 and some of the other newer distro versions [haven't been added to the install pages](https://www.swift.org/install/linux/amazonlinux/) yet.
