Amazon Linux 2023

I have to manage 2023.12.20260608-0.amzn2023. To know which version you are

$ dnf list system-release
MySQL 8.4 LTS Community Server    
Installed Packages system-release.noarch
2023.12.20260608-0.amzn2023

To see what version you can update to.

$ /usr/bin/dnf check-release-update
$ dnf check-release-update

The dnf command, short for Dandified Yum, is a package manager for RPM-based distributions like Fedora, RHEL, and CentOS. It works as a powerful utility for managing packages, allowing you to easily install, update, remove, and manage software. It’s particularly important because it resolves dependencies automatically, ensuring that the software you install works seamlessly with existing components. Commonly used parameters

$ dnf install [package]
$ dnf update
$ dnf remove [package]
$ dnf list installed
$ dnf search [term]
$ dnf info [package]

AL2023 is quite similar to Arch in because of the use of Apachectl and httpd.
