Hi @ahmedwab !

It’s good to see the linux-cuda-11 / -12 images have been updated!

Do you know what the plan is for the outdated ubuntu-2004 / -2204 / -2404 machine images?

These are each from Nov 2024 and now 8 months old, even though they are supposed to be updated every 3 months. There is a related thread No updates to ubuntu-2204 machine images since Nov 2024? - #6 by MikeMcC399 that is waiting for an answer.
