Why each option
When a newly provisioned server runs an unexpected OS version despite automation scripts working correctly, the first check should be whether the correct base image or template was selected.
Indentation errors in a provisioning script cause syntax failures or unexpected script behavior, not the installation of a different OS version.
Cloud provisioning relies on templates or machine images - such as AWS AMIs or Azure VM Images - that define the OS version baked into every server created from them. If the wrong template was selected, the resulting server will run whatever OS version is embedded in that template, which directly explains why a non-supported Linux version is installed even though automation scripts execute without error.
An API version mismatch produces API call errors or resource configuration drift, but does not determine which OS version gets installed on the provisioned server.
The script account governs execution permissions; insufficient permissions result in access denied errors, not deployment of a non-supported OS version.
