Hi @jasonrepos ,

Could you please share links to documentation where it says UBUNTU_PRO is supported? Here I see only SLES & RHEL appear to be supported.

Hi @harshavmb

Here is the Azure doc on Ubuntu Pro - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/workloads/canonical/ubuntu-pro-in-place-upgrade

In my case I have manually upgraded our Ubuntu VMs using the following command

az vm update -g myResourceGroup -n myVmName --license-type UBUNTU_PRO

Following this, I am now having to set a lifecycle ignore so terraform does not revert the change.

lifecycle { ignore_changes = [ license_type ]

@jasonrepos Just curious what offer and sku are you using?

[jasonrepos]

source_image_reference { publisher = "Canonical" offer = "0001-com-ubuntu-server-focal" sku = "20_04-lts-gen2" version = "latest" }
