Tip
Prior to version 27.11 - when launching instances based on this instance,
you will need to re-enable any non-standard Ubuntu Pro services that you
enabled on the image. This will be faster on the new instance because it was
already enabled on the image. You will not need to reboot for e.g. fips or
fips-updates.
