[Impact]
This release contains both bug-fixes and new features and we would like to
make sure all of our supported customers have access to these improvements.
See the changelog entry below for a full list of changes and bugs.
[Test Case]
The following development and SRU process was followed:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/walinuxagentUpdates
The Microsoft Azure Linux Agent team will execute their testsuite, which
includes extension testing , against the walinuxagent that is in -proposed. A successful run will be required before the proposed walinuxagent can be let into -updates.
The CPC team will be in charge of attaching a summary of testing to the bug. CPC team members will not mark ‘verification-done’ until this has happened.
