Hi,

Do we know if/when any of the machine images will get updated to Ubuntu Bionic, 18.04 LTS?

Thanks,  
Kevin

Ooh look, a Brummie! 🌞

What are you looking to do with the machine executor? Is there some software you want to install? If the repo version is not recent enough for you, you could add trusted third party repo URLs into Apt and then the more recent updates should be available to you. I’ve done this with PHP and with Docker plenty, works just fine.
