Hi,
I am in the process of upgrading our Batch SKU from Ubuntu 16.04 (LTS) to 18.04 (LTS).
I see that there are currently 2 images available, one by canonical and one by microsoft-dsvm

  • Sku Agent Id[batch.node.ubuntu 18.04],
  • Image SKU[18.04-lts],
  • Image Publisher[canonical],
  • Image Offer[ubuntuserver],
  • Image Version[latest],
  • Sku Agent Id[batch.node.ubuntu 18.04],
  • Image SKU[1804],
  • Image Publisher[microsoft-dsvm],
  • Image Offer[ubuntu-1804],
  • Image Version[latest],

What is the difference between these 2 images ?
Also when will Ubuntu 20.04 become available for Azure Batch ?

Thanks
Laurent
