The following table lists the changes included in this release.

**Notes**  
These release notes focus on changes to currently supported platform branches. For full version information of Elastic Beanstalk retiring (deprecated) platform branches, see [Elastic Beanstalk platform versions scheduled for retirement](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/platforms/platforms-retiring.html) in the *AWS Elastic Beanstalk Platforms* guide.
Be aware that at the time these release notes are published, the new platform versions might not yet be available in all the AWS Regions that Elastic Beanstalk supports. It might take a few hours for the release to complete.

| --- | --- | 
| **Component** | **Update** | 
| --- | --- | 
| **Platform** | **Update** | 
| --- | --- | 
|  **Security updates**  |  Applied all security updates published in the [Amazon Linux Security Center](https://alas.aws.amazon.com/alas2.html) on or before **July 25, 2023** to all Amazon Linux 2 platforms. Some of the platform updates are security releases. For more information, see **Platform-specific updates** in this table.  | 
|  **Cross-platform updates**  |  Made these cross-platform updates: [\[See the AWS documentation website for more details\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/relnotes/release-2023-07-28-al2.html)  | 
|  **Platform-specific updates**  |  Made these platform-specific updates: [\[See the AWS documentation website for more details\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/relnotes/release-2023-07-28-al2.html)  | 
|  **AMI**  |  Updated the base AMI to version 2.0.20230719.  | 
|  **Docker**  |  Updated Amazon ECS Agent to version **1.73.1** on the *ECS Amazon Linux 2* platform branch. **Introducing Docker Compose Version 2** on the *Docker Amazon Linux 2* platform branch:   We have updated Docker Compose to version [2.20.2](https://docs.docker.com/compose/release-notes/#2202) from version 1.29.2. This release introduces a major version update to Docker Compose. For more information, see [ Announcing Compose V2 General Availability](https://www.docker.com/blog/announcing-compose-v2-general-availability/) on the Docker website.  Docker Compose v2 has a new feature called *interpolation*. If you'd like to use this feature, be aware that you'll need to implement an approach that uses platform hooks. This is necessary due a mitigation that we implemented in the platform engine. This mitigation ensures backward compatibility for customers that aren't aware of the new interpolation feature and have existing applications that use environment variables with the `$` character. For more information, see [Using interpolate feature for environment variables (Docker Compose)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com//elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/create_deploy_docker.container.console.html#docker-env-cfg.env-variables-dc-interpolate) in the *AWS Elastic Beanstalk Developer Guide*. For more information about the interpolation feature see [Interpolation](https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file/12-interpolation/) on the Docker documentation website.   | 
|  **Go**  |  Updated Go to release 1.20.6. For details, see [go1.20.6](https://go.dev/doc/devel/release#go1.20.6) in *The Go Programming Language Release History*. This is a security release.  | 
|  **Corretto**  |  Updated Corretto 17 to version 17.0.8.7.1. For change log, see [Change Log for Amazon Corretto 17](https://github.com/corretto/corretto-17/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md). Updated Corretto 11 to version 11.0.20.8.1. For change log, see [Change Log for Amazon Corretto 11](https://github.com/corretto/corretto-11/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md). Updated Corretto 8 to version 8.382.05.1. For change log, see [Change Log for Amazon Corretto 8](https://github.com/corretto/corretto-8/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md). All three updates are security releases.  | 
|  **Tomcat**  |  Updated Corretto 11 to version 11.0.20.8.1. For change log, see [Change Log for Amazon Corretto 11](https://github.com/corretto/corretto-11/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md). Updated Corretto 8 to version 8.382.05.1. For change log, see [Change Log for Amazon Corretto 8](https://github.com/corretto/corretto-8/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md). Both updates are security releases.  | 
|  **.NET Core**  |  Updated .NET Core to release [6.0.20](https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/release-notes/6.0/6.0.20/6.0.20.md) . This is a security release.  |
