For Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, kernel versions 6.5 and 5.15 are LTS ESM kernels.
The Kubernetes community only supports the last three minor `releases <https://kubernetes.io/releases/>`_.
Older releases may be supported through enterprise distributions of Kubernetes such as Red Hat OpenShift.

.. _ubuntu-kernel:

:sup:`2`
For Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, kernel versions 6.8 (non-precompiled driver containers only) 6.5 and 5.15 are LTS ESM kernels.
For Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, kernel versions 5.4 and 5.15 are LTS ESM kernels.
The GPU Driver containers support these Linux kernels.
Refer to the Kernel release schedule on Canonical's
`Ubuntu kernel lifecycle and enablement stack <https://ubuntu.com/kernel/lifecycle>`_ page for more information.
NVIDIA recommends disabling automatic updates for the Linux kernel that are performed
by the ``unattended-upgrades`` package to prevent an upgrade to an unsupported kernel version.
