Hi everyone, we have great news to share:
Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka first beta is now generally available! And, as always, it’s already on AWS.
On September 18, we officially released the first beta of the upcoming Ubuntu 25.10 Questing Quokka. We are constantly releasing updated AMIs on the development branch you launch starting from this date will include the official beta updates.
How to get it
You need AWS CLI:
aws ec2 describe-images --output json --region $YOUR_REGION \
--filters "Name=name,Values=ubuntu/images-testing/hvm-ssd*/ubuntu-questing*amd64*" \
--query 'sort_by(Images, &CreationDate)[-1].{Name: Name, ImageId: ImageId, CreationDate: CreationDate, Owner: OwnerId}'
Since fixes will continue to be included in new images until the final release, any daily cloud image dated 20250928 or later should be considered an update to the beta image. Please report any bugs against the relevant packages, or if unsure, against the cloud-images project on Launchpad
