Description

We were recently migrated from Skytaps's POWER9 in their Amsterdam data centre to older generation POWER8 systems. [Ubuntu 22.04+ does not support POWER8](https://ubuntu.com/download/server/power) and there is no template available for Ubuntu 20.04 in that location.

At the moment this means that many of our test-docker ppc64le machines are offline

Research direction

Start with the linked CI label, machine pages, and Ubuntu POWER support page to confirm which listed ppc64le hosts are unavailable and why. Done means the affected test-docker hosts have a supported image and are back online, or the capacity limitation and replacement plan are documented.
