Upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04

Closed this issue · 0 comments

Ubuntu 15.10 support ended on July 28 2016.

Changing to 14.04 LTS would be problematic because it's using old versions of several packages including Python; the Python version is a particular problem as it's pre-SNI support, which breaks many of the Ansible roles. The hardware support for 14.04 LTS is also ending soon which could cause issues with VirtualBox support.

The 16.04 is the latest LTS release, released on July 21, 2016, it will be supported until late 2018. While there have been a number of hurdles for supporting 16.04 it's a good long term solution.
