Breaking changes

We have started the deprecation process for Ubuntu 18.04. While the image is being deprecated, You may experience longer queue times during peak usage hours. Deprecation will begin on 2022/08/08 and the image will be fully unsupported by 2023/04/03

To raise awareness of the upcoming removal, we will temporarily fail jobs using Ubuntu 18.04. Builds that are scheduled to run during the brownout periods will fail. The brownouts are scheduled for the following dates and times:

GitHub Actions\Azure DevOps::

  • October 3, 12:00 UTC – October 3, 14:00 UTC

We maintain the latest two stable versions of any given OS version. Ubuntu 22.04 is going GA on 8/8/22 thus we start deprecating the oldest image.

Don't get me wrong, I fully understand that you're deprecating 18.04 - but incorporating brownout periods to raise awareness?

If my team needs to get a build out for a critical bugfix on the 22nd of August... I'm just going to have to wait for 4 hours? If my understanding of that is true, I find that very odd behavior in an enterprise environment. Some businesses actually have SLAs with their clients. Would kindly request the team to find another way to "raise awareness". I came here because of the red banner when using the image, that worked fine as well and is a lot less invasive.

You're giving us two weeks to migrate away before brownouts start. Migrating is an action that requires testing and validation.

Does this impact hosted agents only, or does this also mean the agent tooling/infra (for self hosted pools, but also for 1ES pools for internal folks) will become EOL for ubuntu18? My team still needs to keep shipping ubuntu18 versions of our product for years.

18.04 image is deprecated and will disappear soon.  Also some
slowdowns and brownouts are planned to push users away from
this deprecated version:

  actions/runner-images#6002

Moving to 20.04.  Can't move to 22.04 at the moment because of
deprecation warnings from openssl 3.0.

* GitHub Actions dropped suuport for macos-10.15 on 2022-12-01:
  actions/runner-images#6002
* GitHub Actions dropped suuport for ubuntu-18.04 on 2023-04-03:
  actions/runner-images#5583

Although there are benefits to testing EventMachine with these older OS
versions—especially given EventMachine's legacy status and the types of
projects which are most likely to depend on it—there are also
significant costs to maintaining CI for them once GitHub Actions has
dropped support.
