Ansible-core devel’s ansible-test had multiple updates of CI containers and remote VMs yesterday:

1. The Fedora 40 container and VM have been replaced by Fedora 41: ansible-test - Replace Fedora 40 with 41 by mattclay · Pull Request #84281 · ansible/ansible · GitHub;

2. In the Fedora, Ubuntu, and Alpine containers, the packages apache2, ruby, and subversion are no longer installed by default: Clean up container builds by mattclay · Pull Request #119 · ansible/distro-test-containers · GitHub (updated in ansible-test in ansible-test - Replace Fedora 40 with 41 by mattclay · Pull Request #84281 · ansible/ansible · GitHub);

3. The Alpine 3.20 container and VM have been replaced by Alpine 3.21: ansible-test - Replace Alpine 3.20 with 3.21 by mattclay · Pull Request #84525 · ansible/ansible · GitHub

4. The RHEL 9.4 VM has been replaced by RHEL 9.5: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/84526

5. The FreeBSD 14.1 VM has been replaced by FreeBSD 14.2: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/84527

The last two updates only affect collections that use AZP to access the remotes provided by RH, but the other three can also affect all collections that use these containers in CI.
