1 Support for SQL Server on Ubuntu 16.04 is limited. At the end of April 2021, Ubuntu 16.04 transitioned from its standard five-year maintenance window for long term support (LTS) releases, into extended security maintenance (ESM) support. For more details, see Ubuntu 16.04 LTS transitions to Extended Security Maintenance (ESM) | Ubuntu.
Tip
For more information, review the system requirements for [!INCLUDE ssnoversion-md] on Linux. For the latest support policy for [!INCLUDE ssNoVersion], see the Technical support policy for Microsoft SQL Server.
You should run production workloads on supported platforms like Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and Ubuntu Pro, as they receive regular OS security updates, and have support coverage options that you need for Enterprise database deployments.
