Can cookbook version 5.0 be used in an esri 10.9.1 cloudformation template that references cookbook 3.8?

Hi there,

I was having trouble building arcgis enterprise using a 10.9.1 esri cloudformation template on Ubuntu 22.04. The stack build would fail on restarting the NFS service. After some research I realized that Ubuntu 22.04 uses a new configuration file setup, and that cookbook version 5.0 would be needed to properly set up NFS on Ubuntu 22.04.

The cloudformation template referenced above uses cookbook version 3.8.

Do you think I could change the CookbooksUrl to
https://arcgisstore.s3.amazonaws.com/1130/cookbooks/arcgis-5.0.0-cookbooks.tar.gz

And still be able to install arcgis enterprise version 10.9.1?

@timhaverland-noaa The 5.0.0 cookbooks do still contain the 10.9.1 templates so it might work, but without ever testing it I can't say for 100% certainty. I suggest first testing it to see if there are any quirks before fully rolling out in a production environment.

Also keep in mind that Ubuntu 22.04 is not in the supported OS list of 10.9.1:

Thanks,

Hi Cameron, thanks for the response. I will tweak the 10.9.1 cloudformation template to use the 5.0 cookbook and let you know how it goes. I did see that 22.04 is not in the supported list for 10.9.1, but this statement made me think that newer OS versions were supported: "Prior and future updates or service packs for these operating system versions are supported unless otherwise stated." But perhaps that means updates/service packs only within Ubuntu 18.xx 20.xx?

[cameronkroeker]

Right I believe it means minor version updates/service packs for 18.xx and 20.xx (whereas 18, 20, 22 are major versions that require a full OS upgrade). It is also possible that 10.9.1 works on 22.xx but since 22.xx was likely released after 10.9.1 it was never certified for it.

Got it, thank you.
