hi,

i know this may ask someone in the past, but is it really true that azure site recovery only works with the here specified kernel versions of ubuntu 20.04 LTS?!? ...by the way, when will 20.04 LTS will be supported?

Supported Linux Versions and Kernel Versions: https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/azure/site-recovery/azure-to-azure-support-matrix#replicated-machine-operating-systems

this means that we have to downgrade the official ubuntu image 20.04 lts to the kernel version to 5.4.xxx, and the question for us is now, how this "will work" when there is an impact of an urgent security fix that have to be rolled out?

just for our understandig: why is the kernelversion is so important for the azure site recorvery? what feature of the kernel is used?

    Hi @XMONE

    Unfortunately, the reason the kernel was not released is not public information from Microsoft. But before going into preview the new features are in development testing all possible scenarios so that there is no problem.
    You can follow the new ASR features through the roadmap in the link below
