Requesting for Symphony Advance Edition to support for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Freddie Mac is in the process of establishing Cloud capabilities that include running our Spectrum Symphony workloads in AWS Virtual Private Clouds. Our preferred OS for all of our Linux AWS EC2 instances is Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I have successfully deployed Symphony v 7.2.0.2 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and now in the process of deploying Symphony v7.2.1.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. We have not encountered any issues running on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. There have not been any installation, deployment or operational issues encountered.

Freddie Mac requests that IBM provide support for Spectrum Symphony v7.2+ Advance Edition when hosted on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. IBM's willingness to move this request forward and support Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is critically important to Freddie Mac.
