Breaking changes Ubuntu 24.04 is ready to be the default version for the "ubuntu-latest" label in GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps.
Target date This change will be rolled out over a period of several weeks beginning December 5th and will complete on January 17th, 2025.
The motivation for the changes GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps have supported Ubuntu 24.04 in preview mode since May 2024, and starting from July 2024 Ubuntu 24.04 is generally available for all customers. We have monitored customer feedback to improve the Ubuntu 24.04 image stability and now we are ready to set it as the latest. There are a set of packages listed below that we have removed from the Ubuntu 24 image. Please review the list carefully to see if you will be impacted by these changes. We have made cuts to the list of packages so that we can maintain our SLA for free disk space. The images have grown so large we are in danger of violating our SLA if we keep the package list as-is.
The factors we took into consideration when removing packages are as follows:
How long does it take to install the tool at runtime?
How much space does it take up on the image?
How many users are there of the tool?
We understand that our reasoning may not make sense to some of you out there, but please bear in mind that we tried to keep disruptions as minimal as possible, and tried to keep the best interests of the community at large in mind. There is a very large and diverse community using our images, and as much as we would like to, we cannot pre-install every tool on these images.
Platforms affected
Azure DevOps
GitHub Actions
Mitigation ways Steps or options for impact mitigation If you see any issues with your workflows during transition period:
Switch back to Ubuntu 22 by changing workflow YAML to use runs-on: ubuntu-22.04 We support two latest LTS Ubuntu versions, so Ubuntu 22 will still be maintained for the next 2 years.
