Is using ubuntu 19.04 or 18.10 tag safe for production environment as we can see that the relevant docker image gives zero vulnerabilities for it on quay.
Would having no lts support for it cause any security issues.

  • Ubuntu 19.04 is still technically a development release, having not being classified as 'ready for release' (though it's expected later today UST time). That alone may be reason to delay installs. It's also still off-topic here because of it's not-yet-released status

No. LTS gets the same security and hardware upgrades (HWE) as the not-LTS. 18.04 -> 18.10 = 18.04.1-> 19.04 = 18.4.2 -> 19.10 = 18.4.3 -> 20.4 = 18.4.4 -> 20.10 = 18.4.5 (in regards to the hardware support).



LTS is about stability. You depend on the software versions that got releases at the time + security updates. That makes an LTS stable and secure. Rock solid even and that is what you want as a company: people need to be using the software and not wait for a bug to be solved.



If you want to use 19.04 or 18.10 for production you need to accept you will be upgrading every 6 months. Plan for it and it will be fine. But the LTS makes that upgrade once every 5 years so is a lot less disturbing.
