Thanks for your response on this.  Below is our thinking to make use of Ubuntu as a host OS.

  1.  The flexibility for frequent updates and
  2.  Extensively available community support for issues.


So the following are the main reasons to consider Ubuntu:
1.            DEB packaging model provides flexibility to install new packages as desired.
2.            Ability to update/get latest version of software’s as desired/needed. CentOS has less frequent updates and our desired updates may need to be manually installed on to our specific version.
3.            Relatively easy to find solutions to issues due to large community support, tutorials and extensive documentation especially for container and cloud deployments which makes it bit more desirable to CentOS in a cloud domain.

Regards,
Ankush

There are no plans for Ubuntu as a host OS at this time. It’s a lot of work both up front and over time to enable it. A lot of work… ☹ Can I ask why you are asking? brucej  ‌  ‌  ‌  ‌  ‌  ‌  ‌  ‌  ‌  ‌  ‌  ‌  ‌  ‌

Any pointer to Ubuntu-OS support. Is this already available or line-up for future release?
