The latest version of v2.10.0 support Ubuntu deployment.

@ruzhuchen1 Could you point to a specific Ubuntu image you think works? I tried multiple and failed. The latest problem is that this deployment script tries to manipulate /etc/network/interfaces.d/, although Ubuntu expects netplan configuration.

The latest version of v2.10.0 support Ubuntu deployment.

What does this mean that this is supported, practically speaking? When I go through the terraform provisioning prompts, in Oracle Console, using the latest version of HPC Cluster app (v2.10.2.1) from the Oracle Marketplace, there is no option for an Ubuntu image, for either head/bastion node or compute nodes.

Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 will work for the stack. It means you can select the platform images and everything will run fine. For HPC images, we cannot legally share Ubuntu modified images, so reach out to your HPC support contact at OCI and we’ll help you get started on those.

OK, will do. Thank you.
