Support for Splunk Enterprise on Amazon Linux 2023 (6.x kernel)

Current version of Splunk Enterprise on Linux supports several flavors of 5.x kernel, but does not seem to support 6.x kernel per the most recent system requirements.   We are planning migration of our Splunk Infrastructure from Amazon Linux 2 (kernel 5.10.x) to Amazon Linux 2023 (kernel 6.1.x)  due to the approaching Operating System end of life.  Does anyone know if there are plans to support the new Amazon OS by Splunk Enterprise?

As an outsider with no real knowledge of it I would say it's likely coming soon.

Since AWS is their testing ground for all cloud items first they are likely aware of the need to support kernel 6.x.  Also reviewing the link you provided the UF already supports that kernel release.

Contact your Sales team or an assigned TSE to your account to see if they can get you this information for tentative release date.
