In that case, you might run into problems if the location or name of that dependency has changed between Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 18.04.

However, there may be exceptions! For example, you may have used the apt-buildpack to ensure that a particular library or utility is installed when your app is deployed. If that describes you, this upgrade will probably be a miraculous non-event… You can request the new stack at your next cf push or cf restage and carry on as you always have. What this means to you: Most customers deploy their applications using buildpacks, and their apps don’t have any dependency on the particular OS version that runs them.

In addition, Ubuntu 14.04 will no longer receive security updates in April, so we will stop supporting cflinuxfs2 in April 30th. We’ll be making cflinuxfs3 the default stack in on March 15th. cflinuxfs3 is a new OS image based on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and it’s already available for your use. The stack we’ve provided to date is called cflinuxfs2, and it’s based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, released originally in early 2014 with continuous security updates since then. The base OS image used by your applications is called a “stack”. It’s a new year, and we’ve got a pile of changes and highlights to tell you about since we last checked in.Īnnouncements Ubuntu 18.04 is coming and 14.04 is going: Test your apps now!
