Oct 1, 2025In 2025-10, delivered essential autoinstall reliability improvements across multiple OS support in vmware/ansible-vsphere-gos-validation. Key fixes include Ubuntu 25.10 desktop autoinstall timezone correction (America/New_York), OpenSUSE 16.0 auto-installation correctness (product ID and GNOME pattern install action adjusted), and Debian 13 cloud-init GOSC reporting updated to Not Supported. These changes enhance automation reliability, ensure accurate guest OS customization reporting, and reduce downstream troubleshooting for deployment pipelines across heterogeneous environments.

May 1, 20252025-05 Monthly Summary: Implemented a precise Pardus cloud-init GOSC reporting update in the vmware/ansible-vsphere-gos-validation project to reflect current support status. Pardus 21.x and 23.x are now labeled Not Supported when cloud-init is enabled via the Ansible playbook. This improves accuracy of platform readiness signals, reduces customer confusion, and strengthens trust in GOSC outputs.
