Right now the default hardware version for all ubuntu cloud images(such as ubuntu 18.04 cloud image, ubuntu 20.10 cloud image….) is VM version 10(ESXi 5.5).

If it's convenient to support having different VM hardware version for different cloud image releases, ubuntu 20.10 cloud image have default VM version 17 (ESXi 7.0) because vmware declare to support 20.10 desktop/Server in ESXi 7.0GA and later.

If Canonical’s strategy intend to let all cloud images have same default hardware version,
it' suggested to upgrade to default VM version 11 (ESXi 6.0) for cloud image.
