On the 15th March, Amazon Linux 2023 made its debut. This latest version comes with three significant features:

• Default IMDSv2 support with max two hops, which greatly enhances security posture. To learn more about IMDS, check out my blog: https://lnkd.in/gnTA_brw • AL2023 utilizes gp3 volumes by default, reducing costs with improved performance. • Versioned repositories offer more control over packages, allowing for better standardization of workloads.

It seems to be exclusive to AWS? There are no official ISOs or any way to use this on a non-AWS server.

And... it's built based on RedHat's Fedora.
Few years ago it was built on top of Debian.
