    Hi, Elsa,

    Since RHEL 8+ does not support docker, we cannot provide offcial support in RHEL8+ for Symphony as well.

    As for Ubuntu, what are the docker version and API version you prefer to certify?

    Thanks, Dennis

    Hi All,

    In order to expedite the request, I am adding the clarification that ideally it will be support for Ubuntu or any other OS other then RHEL.

     

    Thank you

    Hi Adrian,

     

    We received a notification from AWS indicating they updated to Docker version 25.0.3 and API version 1.24. This presents a rick for us because we cannot get the regular security updates.

    Thank you

    Hi Adrian,

    As discussed in our IBM meeting to address security and other bugs issues and after doing  the internal analysis we concluded that teh ideal version for teh Docker API is 1.41. Would it be possible to update IBM Symphony to support this version?

    Thank you

    Elsa
