AWS CodeBuild adds Support for Amazon Linux 2

AWS CodeBuild now provides a managed Amazon Linux 2 (AL2) build image. Previously, CodeBuild customers had to use a custom Docker image, in order to build and test for Amazon Linux environment.

This new AL2 image supports polyglot builds. You can specify one or more programming language versions in your buildspec for your build needs. This is made possible by a concept called "runtime-versions". With runtime-versions, you can also specify which major version of the runtime should be enabled for your builds. The programming languages included in this image are listed in our documentation.

Please visit our product page or the console to learn more about how to get started with AWS CodeBuild.
