DCV on Ubuntu 22.04 ARM not possible w/ v3.8.0-v3.10.0 despite availability of compatble DCV binaries

[eugeneswalker]

DCV cannot be turned on for Ubuntu 22.04 ARM64 using AWS Parallel Cluster v3.8.0, despite upstream DCV binaries being available.

There are instructions here for installing DCV for Ubuntu 22.04 ARM:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dcv/latest/adminguide/setting-up-installing-linux-server.html

But if you try to launch a parallel cluster using official Ubuntu 22.04 ARM64 image with DCV turned on, validation fails with the following error:

  "configurationValidationErrors": [
    {
      "level": "ERROR",
      "type": "DcvValidator",
      "message": "NICE DCV can be used with one of the following operating systems when using arm64 architecture: ['alinux2', 'centos7', 'rhel8', 'rocky8']. Please double check the os configuration."
    },

See this file:

Would it be possible to enable this going forward?

Thanks @eugeneswalker , tracked internally as enhancement.

Any chance this might be available in next release?

Hi @eugeneswalker unfortunately there have not been yet active development on this area.

The latest release (v.3.10.0) appears to support DCV on alinux2, rhel8, rocky8, rhel9, and rocky9, but not any Ubuntu releases. Are there any updates on when support for Ubuntu might be available?
