[v11.3.1 and up]

As of MarkLogic 11.3.1, Amazon Linux 2023 (AL2023) is a supported operating system. A new MarkLogic AMI based on AL2023 is now available on the AWS Marketplace:

  • [v11.3.7 and up] The MarkLogic CloudFormation template no longer allows the selection of Amazon Linux 2 as an operating system. Only Amazon Linux 2023 is available.
  • [v11.3.1–11.3.6] The MarkLogic CloudFormation template allows the selection of either Amazon Linux 2 or Amazon Linux 2023 as the operating system.

See MarkLogic on Amazon Web Services for additional details.

Since Amazon Linux 2 (AL2) reached end of life on 2026-06-30, move to Amazon Linux 2023 as soon as possible.

No GPU Support

As with MarkLogic on RHEL 9, MarkLogic 11.3.1 (and up) on AL2023 does not support GPUs. Therefore, any use of the embedded ONNX libraries will be executed using the host’s CPU. Support for GPUs on AL2023 is being investigated for a future release of MarkLogic Server.

Pre-installed Software

The MarkLogic Server Amazon Linux 2023 AMI has the following software pre-installed:

  1. MarkLogic 11.3
  2. Java 11 through Amazon Corretto
  3. Linux Cron
  4. Python
  5. AWS CLI
  6. Rsyslog

Upgrade Considerations

To ensure a smooth transition from Amazon Linux 2 to Amazon Linux 2023, consider these factors:

  1. RSA (ssh-rsa) keys are no longer supported on AL2023 by default. Clients must support the ssh-ed25519 or the ecdsa-sha2-nistp256 host key algorithm. See SSH server default configuration changes.

  2. As part of the migration from init.d to systemd, network interface names are renamed accordingly. See Predictable Network Interface Names.

  3. [v11.3.1–11.3.6] The MarkLogic CloudFormation template supports AL2 and AL2023 in the same template. There is a parameter in the template that allows selection of the operating system.

  4. [v11.3.1–11.3.6] The MarkLogic CloudFormation template continues to reference GPU-enabled instances to maintain compatibility with AL2. If a GPU instance is selected along with AL2023, then MarkLogic Server does not leverage the available GPU device when using the embedded ONNX libraries.

Refer to Comparing AL2 and AL2023 for more information on the key differences between AL2 and AL2023.
