Tier 1 support for Ubuntu 20.04 & any support for Raspberry Pi 'Buster' - azure-iot-edge

Just wondered if we had a date for tier 1 support on Ubuntu 20.04?
Also - any word on any support for Raspberry Pi 'Buster' OS version.

Running WSL2 on Windows 10 Enterprise to drive Docker Backend

I am trying to have my Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC (IOT) on run WSL 2. I'm at the latest LTSC Version (1809, build 17763) and have WSL 1 enabled, however installing WSL 2 seems to be limited to the Version 1903 and above, which isn't available for the LTSC configuration. Has anyone got a workaround for LTSC builds to get WSL 2 installed?
I'd like to have Docker's WSL 2 backend running, which is a requirement for Laravel's Sail Environment

Can I run ROS on my computer? I am just starting ROS and wanted to know if I can run it on my laptop

I have a Windows 10 laptop, with Intel i3 processor(10th gen), and 12 gb ram, with Intel UHD graphics 620, it is not a gaming laptop, and does not have a dedicated graphics card. Can I practice ROS on this laptop?
Yes, it's more than enough.
Here is a link to installation tutorial: http://wiki.ros.org/Installation/Windows
On this website you can find ROS Development Studio it's a cloud virtual machine with pre-installed ROS and you can try what you have in mind without installing ROS locally.

Windows Server 2019 Hyper-V Discrete Device Assignment (DDA) of a NVIDIA Tesla V100 to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS or Centos Guest: Not found

Does anyone have experience of using DDA to passthrough an NVIDIA Tesla into a linux guest on Hyper-V? This setup works perfectly when the guest is Windows 10 and according to what I have read, this should be perfectly supported when using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS or Centos 7/8 as the guest operating system. However the driver fails to detect the presence of the Tesla at install time despite it appearing on the virtual PCI bus.
Thanks
A combination of installing the latest kernel (5.0.0-1028-azure or 5.3.0-26-generic) on Ubuntu 18.04.03 LTS then shuting down the guest. Increasing the high MIMO to 33Gb with:
Set-VM -HighMemoryMappedIoSpace 33GB -VMName vm-name
And then restarting, fixed the issue.

does raspberry pi 2 support thingsboard IOT platform?

I want to know whether Raspberry Pi 2 support ThingsBoard platform? Can I just follow the steps of installing ThingsBoard for RPi3 and will it work for RPi2 also?
It looks like it is supported. based on this link: https://thingsboard.io/docs/samples/raspberry/gpio/ :
Raspberry Pi - we will use Raspberry Pi 3 Model B but you can use any other model.
Also, support is mainly related to what protocols are available and supported by the platform:
https://thingsboard.io/docs/reference/protocols/
MQTT
CoAP
HTTP
We are currently running ThingsBoard gateway in a Raspberry Pi 2 model B, so I can confirm it is fully supported. Installed following the official guide here, with Raspbian Stretch Headless as operating system.

Running docker and 64 bit linux VM on my host windows10

As you all know Docker runs natively on windows 10 OS. This requires Hyper-V to be enabled. I did that and docker is running fine on my win 10. I wanted to run a 64 bit linux VM on my win 10. So I downloaded the oracle virtual box and ubuntu iso and when I opened the oracle vb it was showing only 32-bit guest versions. When I checked the online info, it recommends to turn off the Hyper-V for 64-bit guest versions to appear. I did that and was able to install the 64 bit ubuntu VM on my win 10 but it broke my docker running on win 10.
Is there any way where we can have both docker running and 64 bit virtual machine installed and running on my guest win 10 OS ??
It is not possible to run Hyper-V and Virtualbox at the same time. If Hyper-V is installed on the system then VT-x is not available for VirtualBox.
I have heard of workarounds, that make switching easy, but you have to reboot the system every time.
Ubuntu is supported on Hyper-V. This question on Microsoft forums suggests Hyper-V doesn't really care if you install a 32 bit or 64 bit OS in the virtual machine.
There are a lot of tutorials online on how to create a Hyper-V Linux virtual machine, 5 steps to create Ubuntu Hyper V Image seems as good as any.
Is there any way where we can have both docker running and 64 bit virtual machine installed and running on my guest win 10 OS ??
Double-check with VirtualBox 6.0.x (starting Dec. 2018):
the ten-years old ticket 4032 "[feature-request] Nested Virtualization: VT-in-VT" is still active
there is now an "experimental feature":
2.34. Using Hyper-V with Oracle VM VirtualBox
Oracle VM VirtualBox can be used on a Windows host where Hyper-V is running. This is an experimental feature.
No configuration is required. Oracle VM VirtualBox detects Hyper-V automatically and uses Hyper-V as the virtualization engine for the host system. The CPU icon in the VM window status bar indicates that Hyper-V is being used.
Note
When using this feature, you might experience significant Oracle VM VirtualBox performance degradation on some host systems.
