Re-Platform to VMware Server

Hello all,

I am migrating/re-platforming a CentOS 7.9.2009 physical server to a VMware virtual server, with Ubuntu 22.04.3 being the new OS. As I begin this journey I want to ensure that I am on the best LTS for not only the OS but the kernel. I see that HWE is available and that will give me kernel 6.2, but it looks like kernel 6.6 is the next LTS kernel. Has anyone combined Ubuntu 22.04.3 and kernel 6.6 on a VMware virtual instance? Am I barking up a bad tree?

Thanks,
Steve
