As we know that Amazon Linux 2 is the upgraded version of legacy Amazon Linux. The best thing about this is it's completely free we don't need any kind of extra support for this. The licence of this operating system is open source. It comes with a security-focused, stable, and high-performance execution environment to run cloud-native applications. We can receive frequent security and OS related updated from amazon. Another best thing about it is it comes with long-term support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

None as such, the only thing I face is sometimes it gets an alarm and the application stop working. Another thing is that OS has very less documentation available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are few points that make AWS Linux 2 VMs my go-to choice

- AWS provides maintenance and security patches automatically

- Admin can set the downtime window and patching will be applied automatically at the time

- They have longer term support (LTS) viz-a-viz then normal linux flavours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazon Web Services could be more upfront on how the Amazon Linux 2 operating system is configured, built and secured. The more transparent for us the more trust we will have in this operating system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We can connect this OS with an instance and also with various other AWS Services like S3 etc. We can run this server 24 hours without any maintenance and charges are very reasonable and cheap as compared to other cloud services. We can also monitor this OS with AWS Cloud Watch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It always has some problems with NGINX config and we always have to update the libraries when we set up the instance which is a bit annoying when has to install software quickly like big libraries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
