## AI overview

Laravel Vapor now provides Amazon Linux 2 runtimes for PHP applications. Users can select the runtime through the configuration option in vapor.yml, and deployed environments switch to Amazon Linux 2 with zero downtime. Amazon Linux 2 is recommended because standard support for Amazon Linux 1 ends on December 31, 2020.

## Source excerpt

Amazon recently announced the second version of its operating system: Amazon Linux 2. Starting today, you may start using PHP on top of Amazon Linux 2 by updating the "runtime" configuration option in the "vapor.yml" file.
