• SLES 12 SP5
• SLES 15 SP1

The SAP variants of these images along with SLES 15 SP0 SAP will also be published in the coming week. The new SAP images are currently being tested.

cloud-init Version

Please note that we are still at cloud-init 18.2 version in most of our SUSE images because of compatibility issues with BMS. We have the cloud-init package locked by zypper so that it is not updated by mistake.
