Based on the current information available, Amazon WorkSpaces supports Ubuntu 22.04 LTS as a bundle option, with a lifecycle policy that extends until June 2032. This means Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is not approaching end of life soon - it has approximately 7 more years of support remaining in WorkSpaces. Further, Amazon subscribes to the Pro version of Ubuntu for AWS Workspaces which grants an additional 5 years of support via "Legacy add on for security maintenance and support" as referenced below: [+] - https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle
Regarding Ubuntu 24.04 LTS availability in WorkSpaces bundles, there is no information currently available about when this version will be supported. AWS has not announced a timeline for adding Ubuntu 24.04 LTS bundles to WorkSpaces.
For the most up-to-date information about new bundle releases and operating system support, I recommend:
- Monitoring AWS What's New announcements for WorkSpaces updates
- Checking the WorkSpaces documentation regularly for bundle updates
- Contacting AWS Support directly to inquire about roadmap plans for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS support
If you're experiencing compatibility issues with specific applications that require Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, you may want to discuss your specific use case with AWS Support to explore potential workarounds or alternative solutions while waiting for official Ubuntu 24.04 LTS bundle support.
