Posted on: Feb 28, 2025

AWS Elastic Beanstalk now enables customers to build and deploy Tomcat 11 applications on Amazon Linux 2023 (AL2023) platform. This latest platform support allows developers to leverage the newest Tomcat features while benefiting from AL2023's enhanced security and performance features.

AWS Elastic Beanstalk is a service that provides the ability to deploy and manage applications in AWS without worrying about the infrastructure that runs those applications. Tomcat 11 on AL2023 allows developers to take advantage of the latest Jakarta EE specifications. Developers can create Elastic Beanstalk environments running Corretto 17 and 21 with Tomcat 11 on AL2023 through the Elastic Beanstalk Console, CLI, or API.

This platform is generally available in commercial regions where Elastic Beanstalk is available including the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. For a complete list of regions and service offerings, see AWS Regions.
