Azure Data Science Virtual Machine release notes
This article describes Azure Data Science Virtual Machine releases. For a full list of included tools, along with version numbers, visit this resource.
Because of rapidly evolving needs and packages updates, we target new releases of Azure Data Science Virtual Machine for Windows and Ubuntu images every month.
Azure portal users can find the latest image available for provisioning the Data Science Virtual Machine. For CLI or Azure Resource Manager (ARM) users, we keep images of individual versions available for 12 months. After that period, specific image versions are no longer available for provisioning.

Announcement: Beginning October 1, 2022, the Ubuntu 18 Data Science Virtual Machine (DSVM) will not be available on the marketplace. We recommend that users switch to the Ubuntu 20 DSVM as we continue to ship updates/patches on our latest Data Science VM – Ubuntu 20.04
Users who use the Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template/virtual machine scale, set to deploy the Ubuntu DSVM machines, should set the configuration to
Offer | SKU |
---|---|
ubuntu-2004 | 2004 for Gen1 or 2004-gen2 for Gen2 VM sizes |
instead of:
Offer | SKU |
---|---|
ubuntu-1804 | 1804 for Gen1 or 1804-gen2 for Gen2 VM sizes |
Note
There's no problem for existing customers who still use the Ubuntu-18 DSVM, as of our October 2022 update. However, the deprecation plan is scheduled for December 2022. We recommend that you switch to Ubuntu-20 DSVM at your earliest convenience.

sudo systemctl start docker
Note
If your machine has GPU(s), you can make use of the GPU(s) inside the containers by adding a --gpus
parameter to your docker command.
For example, this command
sudo docker run --gpus all -it --rm -v local_dir:container_dir nvcr.io/nvidia/pytorch:18.04-py3
runs an Ubuntu 18.04 container with PyTorch pre-installed and all GPUs enabled. It also builds a local local_dir folder available in the container under container_dir.
