Inconsistency between `ubuntu-24.04` and `ubuntu-24.04-arm`

[zkdev]

Type of issue

• Error when running a workflow.
• Request for additional tools or software for an existing image.
• Request for a new image, Linux or Windows.
• Other

Describe the issue
The docker tooling installed to the image flavours seem to be incompatible, as amd variant produces manifests of mediaType application/vnd.oci.image.manifest.v1+json, whereas arm variants produces manifests of mediaType application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json.
This is a problem when one wants to offer both via a multiarch manifest.

To Reproduce
List the steps to reproduce the behavior:

0. define a (simple) Dockerfile
1. use build-push-action on ubuntu-24.04 image
2. use build-push-action on ubuntu-24.04-arm image
3. compare manifest mediaTypes

Expected behavior
The manifest mediaTypes should be identical.

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):
I am running MacOS on version 26.2, whereas the runner image I am concerned about is ubuntu-24.04-arm.

Additional context
The BoM information for ubuntu-24-04 is not yet updated, thus I cannot pinpoint the exact version mismatch.

@jasonrandrews

please consider cutting a new release in order to bump Docker Engine from major 28 to major 29. the amd variant is running on major 29 already.

due to the switch of the default image storage, the docker tooling on runner images ubuntu-24-04 and ubuntu-24-04-arm produce manifests with inconsistent mediaTypes, ultimately blocking native multi-platform builds.

FYI:
it appears amd variant reverted the relevant docker tooling bump
