A systems administrator is provisioning VMs in a cloud environment and has been told to select an OS build with the furthest end-of-life date. Which of the following OS builds would be BEST for the systems administrator to use?
B. LTS (Long Term Support)
LTS versions are designed to receive updates and support for an extended period, typically several years, making them a reliable choice for long-term use in production environments. In contrast, options like Canary and Beta are often experimental and not suitable for production, while Stable builds may not offer the same extended support duration as LTS versions.
LTS doesn't take actual date into account, "LTS" label is not revoked. Means there are old/deprecated LTS versions in SW space, or an aging LTS version can be replaced by next LTS version of same product in short term. No good answer available. Simply bad question wording, might better say "... to look out for FIRST - and consider dates".
B. LTS (Long-Term Support)
When provisioning VMs in a cloud environment and selecting an OS build with the furthest end-of-life date, the best option for the systems administrator to use would be an OS build with Long-Term Support (LTS).
The correct answer is "B." A stable build typically only has limited support, usually only for a year at most. A Long-Term Support (LTS) however, will have gone through the motions of being in a operating capacity. It will also have evidence of a strong, "stable" backbone to work off of which is why it typically has support for three to five years.

For further clarification. I under this isn't related wholly to Cloud, but the premise remains the same between LTS and Stable.
