Ubuntu 18.04 with Extended Lifecycle Support

Ntegral Ubuntu 18.04 ELS is a pre-configured Azure VM image designed to support legacy Linux workloads that require Ubuntu 18.04 compatibility with extended security coverage.

Although Ubuntu 18.04 has reached end-of-life, Extended Lifecycle Support (ELS) provides continued security updates for critical systems. This allows organizations to maintain compliance and reduce risk while transitioning to newer platforms such as Ubuntu 20.04 or 22.04.

With this image, you can deploy a ready-to-use Ubuntu 18.04 environment directly from Azure Marketplace—eliminating manual setup and enabling consistent infrastructure for legacy applications.

This makes it ideal for regulated environments, long-running systems, and phased modernization strategies.
