PowerShell
Windows Nano Server Images for 7.4+
Summary of the new feature / enhancement
Since https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell-Docker/commit/9f48a7b365b54d75627077f4e2cbb746656233c0 the Windows nano server images are rated as unstable.
What is the reason for this? Is it possible that we will get nano-images with a current powershell again in the future or is that no longer possible?
Is it still safe to use the 7.2 nanoimage?
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
No response
So https://mcr.microsoft.com/en-us/product/powershell/tags says that the tags
- nanoserver
- nanoserver-1809
- nanoserver-ltsc2022
- 7.2-nanoserver-ltsc2022
- 7.2-nanoserver-1809
- 7.3-nanoserver-ltsc2022
- 7.3-nanoserver-1809
- preview-nanoserver-ltsc2022
- preview-nanoserver-1809
are not longer supported and not longer build.
But
- lts-7.2-nanoserver-ltsc2022
- lts-7.2-nanoserver-1809
- lts-nanoserver-ltsc2022
- lts-nanoserver-1809
are supported and build regulary.
But please note: lts-7.2-nanoserver-ltsc2022 and lts-nanoserver-ltsc2022 are the same Image (Powershell 7.2) even if "lts" should be 7.4. Same for lts-7.2-nanoserver-1809 and lts-nanoserver-1809.
Even lts-windowsservercore-ltsc2022 is Powershell 7.2 although there is a 7.4 image for servercore
So "lts"-tags are wrong and Powershell 7.4+ is missing for Nanoserver
