The Azure Pipelines virtual machines for the Ansible organization have been upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04 from Ubuntu 18.04.
Most collections should be unaffected by this change, in which case no action is required. However, tests run using the --docker option for ansible-test may experience issues if they are dependent on the host Linux kernel version or the Docker version being used. Affected tests will need to be updated to work with the new VMs.
A future update will upgrade these hosts to Ubuntu 22.04. That upgrade is currently expected to occur around March or April. With that update, it is expected that collections will only be testing against supported versions of ansible-core (2.12 or later). Once that update has been completed, testing using earlier versions will likely fail when using the --docker option for ansible-test.
