+# Amazon Linux 2
+
+Amazon Linux is supported with docker,containerd and cri-o runtimes.
+
+**Note:** that Amazon Linux is not currently covered in kubespray CI and
+support for it is currently considered experimental.
+
+Amazon Linux 2, while derrived from the Redhat OS family, does not keep in
+sync with RHEL upstream like CentOS/AlmaLinux/Oracle Linux. In order to use
+Amazon Linux as the ansible host for your kubespray deployments you need to
+manually install `python3` and deploy ansible and kubespray dependencies in
+a python virtual environment or use the official kubespray containers.
+
+There are no special considerations for using Amazon Linux as the target OS
+for Kubespray deployments.
