Is this page still accurate or is 18.04 actually not supported even though there are multiple resources that claim otherwise?

Hi @shirgall,
Thank you very much for the update!
Updating this docs page is very important as it's Microsoft Support policy to decline support cases if a Microsoft Docs page lists your configuration as unsupported. Therefore, Ubuntu 18.04 cannot be used in production until this page is updated.

Hi @larsiwer ,
It seems that @shirgall has not commited since July 18, 2018. Also in a duplicate issue there was an attempt to ping him on May 4th but no answer since. Is there anyone else who can solve the problem?

I haven't had the time to update the Windows Server pages in a while, but I am working with the docs team to queue up some help. 18.04 is supported. So is 18.10. The recommended kernel to use is "linux-azure".

We now have 19.04 (disco dingo), which seems to be as compatible as earlier versions...

Is the azure kernel still the recommended one on hyper-v server 2016?

What are the requirements to RDP into an Ubuntu running on hyper-v server 2016?

I need info as well, I'm using server 18.04 in production with the Linux-azure kernel. Only problem is that it is eating all of my dynamic memory. If I allocate 10GB of max memory. the disk cache chews it all up, even if the required ram is only 2GB. Need some help here. There is no way the confine the disk cache to 80% by my knowledge.
