Amazon WorkSpaces Personal Supports Ubuntu 24.04

AWS announces availability of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS bundles for Amazon WorkSpaces Personal in the AWS China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD. With this bundle, customers in China can launch Ubuntu WorkSpaces and take advantage of updated Linux packages, toolchains, and security improvements only available in Ubuntu 24.04.

The new Ubuntu 24.04 option brings access to the latest software ecosystem, an improved security posture, and an extended support lifecycle. This new bundle also provides a migration path for customers running older Amazon Linux 2 WorkSpaces who want to stay current with upstream packages and receive the longest available maintenance window from Canonical.

You can get started using the managed Ubuntu 24.04 WorkSpaces bundle by selecting it when creating a new Linux WorkSpace. This new bundle is available in the AWS China (Ningxia) Region. For pricing information, visit the Amazon WorkSpaces pricing page.
