The Ubuntu images referenced by several samples are no longer available in the Azure Marketplace / no longer supported by Batch node agents, which causes pool allocation to fail: - UbuntuServer 18.04-LTS (offer retired; only <=16.04 remains under that offer) - 0001-com-ubuntu-server-focal 20.04 (batch.node.ubuntu 20.04 no longer supported for new pools) Update them to Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS (canonical / ubuntu-24_04-lts / server-gen1, node agent batch.node.ubuntu 24.04), a currently Batch-verified image. The Gen1 sku (server-gen1) is used so the pools keep working with the existing default VM sizes (Standard_DS1_V2 / Standard_D1_V2 / Standard_A1_v2), which are Gen1 (V1) only. Affected samples: - Python/Batch/sample1_helloworld.py - Python/Batch/sample1_jobprep_and_release.py - Python/Batch/sample2_pools_and_resourcefiles.py - Python/Batch/sample3_encrypted_resourcefiles.py - JavaScript/Node.js/sample.js Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

What
Several samples reference Ubuntu pool images that are no longer available in the Azure Marketplace / no longer supported by Batch node agents, so pool allocation currently fails with these samples:
UbuntuServer18.04-LTS— theUbuntuServeroffer now only publishes SKUs up to 16.04.0001-com-ubuntu-server-focal20.04—batch.node.ubuntu 20.04is no longer supported for new pools.Fix
Update them to Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS (
canonical/ubuntu-24_04-lts/server-gen1, node agentbatch.node.ubuntu 24.04), which is currently Batch-verified (confirmed vialist_supported_images).The Gen1 sku (
server-gen1) is used intentionally so the pools keep booting on the existing default VM sizes (Standard_DS1_V2/Standard_D1_V2), which support Hyper-V Gen1 (V1) only.Affected samples
