Describe the feature you'd like
PennyLane-Lightning (lightning.qubit, lightning.kokkos and lightning.gpu) PyPI packages are built on manylinux2014 (CentOS 7 with glibc 2.17) up to version 0.36.0. CentOS 7 will reach EOL on June 30th, 2024. As a result, we have updated the PennyLane-Lightning simulators' build system to use the manylinux_2_28 toolchain, which includes glibc version 2.28. This change means that next releases of PennyLane-Lightning simulators will no longer support older distributions that cannot meet the glibc 2.28 requirements.

How would this feature be used? Please describe.
PR PennyLaneAI/pennylane-lightning#667 updates the build system of PennyLane-Lightning simulators to be based on manylinux_2_28. These new Linux wheels should be tested on Amazon Braket Linux systems to ensure compatibility and support.
