Additional information for Ubuntu 16.04 and Fedora 32 distributions

Ubuntu 20.10 and Fedora 33 distributions have reached end of standard support. Which means they no longer receive security updates and it is strongly recommended not to use these operating systems anymore.

OVHcloud strongly recommends customers using Ubuntu 20.10 to upgrade to Ubuntu 21.04 or later and Fedora 33 users to upgrade to Fedora 34 or later.

You can refer to the following guides to:

    Upgrade operating system: https://docs.ovh.com/gb/en/public-cloud/upgrading-operating-system/
    Upload your image: https://docs.ovh.com/gb/en/public-cloud/uploading-your-own-image/

Additional information for Centos 8 distribution

OVHcloud strongly recommends customers to switch to using an alternative operating system of choice. We have made Rocky Linux and Alamalinux available for Public Cloud and VPS 2020 users which are the current alternative candidates of Centos.
