Amazon EC2 Mac instances now support Apple macOS Sonoma

Starting today, customers can run Apple macOS Sonoma (version 14) as Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) on Amazon EC2 Mac instances. macOS Sonoma is the latest major macOS version from Apple, and introduces multiple new features and performance improvements over prior macOS versions including support for running Xcode version 15.0 and later, which includes the latest SDKs for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, and visionOS. Backed by Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS), Apple macOS Sonoma AMIs are AWS-supported images that are designed to provide a stable, secure, and high-performance environment for developer workloads running on Amazon EC2 Mac instances. EC2 macOS AMIs include the AWS Command Line Interface, Command Line Tools for Xcode, Amazon SSM Agent, and Homebrew. The [AWS Homebrew Tap](https://github.com/aws/homebrew-aws) includes the latest versions of AWS packages included in the AMIs. Apple macOS Sonoma AMIs are available for both x86-based and Apple silicon EC2 Mac instances and are published to all AWS regions where EC2 Mac instances are available today. Customers can get started with macOS Sonoma AMIs via the AWS Console, Command Line Interface (CLI), or API.
