Amazon Linux 2 (x86) 4.14 Kernel Version Support

Each Amazon Linux 2 (x86) Cisco Secure Endpoint Linux connector release supports the 18 most recent 4.14 kernels prior to its release.

Note: Note: the 4.14 kernel version uses kernel modules for system event monitoring on the endpoint instead of using eBPF. Newer features released on the Linux connector can require eBPF. It is recommended to upgrade to an Amazon Linux Extras kernel version for compatibility with the newest connector features. For kernel upgrade guidance, refer to the Amazon Linux 2 Kernel Upgrade AWS article.
