Content Delivery operating system deprecation status

The deprecation status of operating systems on Content Delivery is different for the new microservices and for legacy Server Roles (in-process APIs). The new RESTful APIs no longer have any operating system requirements (beyond those imposed indirectly by the Java or .NET prerequisites).

Recommendation

SDL recommends using the latest version of the supported operating systems.
