Ubuntu-latest workflows will use Ubuntu-24.04 image #10636

The more I look at this list the more I realize that 24.04 is a step back for a lot of people. People are going to complain when this becomes the ubuntu-latest. Be aware of this and maybe make sure this communication is shown on github/azure devops But thanks for the heads up! |

ubuntu-24.04 is still labeled

|
Yes @MikeMcC399 . Its updated and removed. |
|
@ThibaultLesuisse are you aware that NuGet refers specifically to NuGet.exe (which requires mono on Mac & Linux), as does Azure Pipeline's If you're building your projects with |
|
But we need NuGet.exe to sync our custom Artifacts store. And yes I know that commonly you need to run mono nuget.exe to run it on Mac/Linux. But it doesn't change the fact that a lot of tools are now missing for various reasons. This should be communicated. |

We're also affected by the removal of Mono. The official Mono repo only lists 20.04, but the package seem to work fine in newer versions–which is how the 22.04 image got Mono: runner-images/images/ubuntu/scripts/build/install-mono.sh Lines 15 to 18 in ae99c16 Is there a reason this can't be done for 24.04 as well? I tested it briefly and it's working for our relatively simple needs. Mono is fairly chunky so we'd rather not install it every single workflow run. |

Hi there - my team is scrambling this morning due to this change. I have detailed the issue on the community forum here, but the tl;dr is that this version bump prevents Python packages from being installed for system Python. Unfortunately, it seems the evaluation of this issue was incorrect:
In fact, my team has a large number of workflows created by many different engineers, and around a dozen of our workflows that didn't previously leverage actions/setup-python now have to go through our internal change management process in order to restore stability to our CI/CD In the future, please announce breaking changes as a deprecation notice on the GitHub Blog. It's the one place we rely on to proactively catch and prevent stability issues from occurring in our pipelines |

This morning, several of our CI pipelines broke due to these changes. It would be great to have compatibility with the following dependencies, allowing us to upgrade the ubuntu version in the future without complicating our pipelines 🙇 .

and others
Rollout will begin on December 5th and will complete on January 17th, 2025.
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:
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.
