Research direction

Start with docker-bake.hcl and inspect how the current Ubuntu base image is defined. Compare the requested Jammy 22.04 image or a second image against the existing image, then identify the dependencies and scripts that could be affected. Done means the image builds successfully and the relevant existing functionality is tested, though the issue does not specify the test procedure.

Description

enhancement

What is your suggestion?

update ubuntu to jammy 22.04 or add it as second image

Why do you want this feature?

it contains new version for many packages eg. cmake, python

Are there any workarounds to get this functionality today?

using debian based image could be possible but requires modification of some scripts that we are using.
or back-porting needed packages.

Are you interested in submitting a PR for this?

I could make PR for this (change docker-bake.hcl) but I don't know what impact it could have on the image.
I don't know what dependencies could fail in new ubuntu and what should be tested and how to test it.
