Important Notice: End of Standard Support for 20.04 LTS

Standard security updates for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS end on May 31, 2025. After this date, images belonging to this marketplace offer will no longer receive security patches from Canonical.

If you require deploying Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS after May 2025, you must use either Ubuntu Pro 20.04 LTS or in-place upgrade to ensure continued security and compliance. Ubuntu Pro includes Extended Security Maintenance (ESM) with security patches until April 2030.

Ubuntu Server delivers services reliably, predictably and economically. It is the perfect base on which to build your instances. Ubuntu is the world’s most popular Linux for cloud environments and is suitable for small to large-scale Linux operations. Ubuntu Server for Azure is designed by Canonical (the publishers of Ubuntu) and optimized for Azure. For more information, see Ubuntu on Azure.

Ubuntu is free and will always be, with the option to access additional security, management tools and technical support when you need it through additional commercial offerings from Canonical (for example Ubuntu Pro 20.04 LTS).

This offer supports both x86 and arm64 instances.
