❗REMINDER: Ubuntu 24.04 Update on October 22, 2024

On October 22, 2024, we will apply a significant and critical operating system update to Unity. All Unity servers will move from the current operating system, Ubuntu 20.04, to the current LTS version, Ubuntu 24.04. This update is necessary for Unity’s continued maintenance and security.

This means that on 10/22, we will take Unity offline to perform the update. In addition, we’re making significant updates to our research software module stack. Find more information on how to prepare your workloads on the Ubuntu update news page.
