Question Dist-upgrade from Ubuntu 20.04.06 LTS to Ubuntu 22 LTS (Plesk Obsidian in VPS)

[rodrom]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 20.04.06 LTS

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.68 #2

Hi,

My VPS is running under Ubuntu 20.04.06 LTS, which ends support by Canonical this month. I want to upgrade to Ubuntu 22 LTS.
But I have a doubt regarding the requirements to do a DIST-Upgrade in this page about the system running plesk:

Warning: The dist-upgrade procedure can not be performed in a containerized environment. If the environment is not known, contact the server provider in order to know if the server or the environment is a container

I get my doubts about the possibility of doing it, the "hostname" command:

    Static hostname: ...
         Icon name: computer-vm
           Chassis: vm
        Machine ID: ...
           Boot ID: ...
    Virtualization: microsoft
  Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
            Kernel: Linux 5.4.0-84-generic
      Architecture: x86-64

Is this a container or not? My intuition says that this is just virtualization and a pure Virtual Machine, not a container. But I want to be sure before start.
Can I do the dist-upgrade, or my only option is a migration to a new VPS?

Thanks

I am pretty sure you are on a VM with Hyper-V, not a container:

Virtualization: microsoft

In any case, before you proceed with the OS upgrade, please make sure to have a full snapshot.

Hi Sebahat, you are right, The provider confirmed to me as well that VPS is not a container.

I will make that full snapshot.

Thanks for your answer.
