VS Code warns "foundationdb/devel:centos7-latest" is unsupported Dev Container

[mdempsky]

1. Open foundationdb source checkout in VS Code.
2. Click "Reopen in Container". [In the popup window that mentions the Dev Container configuration.]

VS Code then warns me "You are about to connect to an OS version that is unsupported by Visual Studio Code." and includes a "Learn More" button referencing https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/faq#_can-i-run-vs-code-server-on-older-linux-distributions

It seems that foundationdb/devel:centos7-latest is too old and will stop working in 6 months (February 2025):

foundationdb/.devcontainer/devcontainer.json

Line 3 in 48064f6

"image": "foundationdb/devel:centos7-latest",

Specifically, the supported OS conditions that VS Code cares about are "glibc >= 2.28 and libstdc++ >= 3.4.25".

Looks like the Docker file is ready https://github.com/FoundationDB/fdb-build-support/blob/main/docker/rockylinux9/Dockerfile. However, we haven't published the image to Docker Hub yet. I'll discuss with @xis19 about it.

Hello,

We encounter the same issue than other regarding the obsolescence of the glibc (quite hard to properly upgrade it from the centos7:latest image).

Do you know when the image release is planned @xis19 .

Let's target the image release before EOY.
