On Cloud Next environments running Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble):
Standard networking tools (including curl, wget, and traceroute)
Performance analysis tools (including ps, top, and strace)
Common PEAR and PECL libraries
Common PHP modules (including PDO, FreeTDS, OpenSSL, JSON, SOAP, curl, and XML). For detailed information, go to your Drupal website’s PHP information page at /admin/reports/status/php
Unsupported software
Cloud Platform does not support the following software:
Moodle (not compatible with high availability)
piwik (this package may cause performance issues)
Any non-Drupal Content Management System (CMS)
CA Single Sign-on (formerly CA SiteMinder)
Internet Explorer 11
Python2, rssh, Drush 9, and Drush 10 binaries
SQLite extensions
These binaries are unavailable in Ubuntu 20.04.
The following software cannot be installed on Cloud Platform:
Non-standard database software, such as Oracle or Microsoft SQL infrastructure
Custom daemons or services, such as Jabber or Microsoft Exchange
Custom package installations requiring apt-get
You can still install custom executables using your code repository.
Cloud Platform uses configuration management systems to ensure stability and consistency. As a result, Cloud Platform does not support custom operating system configuration changes, nor does Acquia make arbitrary customizations to configuration files such as Apache virtual hosts. Among other problems, such changes can cause your installation to fall outside the test suite for releases and upgrades, and any changes may not reliably survive a relaunch.
