Adding support for Ubuntu 24.04 images

[gns-build-server]

It's that time again. That time when we are wanting to use a new Ubuntu release, but Parallelcluster doesn't support it yet. We'd really like to be using gcc13 and other stuff that's native on Ubuntu24 rather than continuing with Ubuntu22 for the forseeable future.

So, just like #4060 , let's make a new issue for this:

In Parallelcluster 3.9.1, I get the following error message when trying to configure an ubuntu2404 cluster, so I know it's not there yet:

"message": "[('Image', {'Os': ['Must be one of: alinux2, centos7, ubuntu2004, ubuntu2204, rhel8, rocky8, rhel9, rocky9.']})]"

Do we have a timeline on this?

This is of interest to us as well.
Ubuntu 24.04 is available now from image builder so this should be able to move forward.

Interest here as well.
And indeed, image builder closed their 24,04 support ticket 2 months ago so it's available.

I'm interested too.

Could use this here as well.

Is there an estimated release date for Ubuntu 24.04?

Ubuntu24.04 support is under active development and will be included in the upcoming ParallelCluster 3.13.0 release. You can expect the release in a few months.
