Oracle Linux is a highly performant and secure operating environment. Oracle Linux delivers virtualization, management, automation, cloud native computing tools, and the operating system in a single, easy-to-manage support offering. It powers Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Oracle Cloud Applications, and Oracle Engineered Systems. Oracle Linux is a proven and highly secure and reliable platform for Oracle and non-Oracle applications alike. Thousands of Oracle Cloud customers worldwide and thousands of independent software vendors who certify their software on it.
Oracle Linux Support is included at no extra cost with your OCI subscription. You can take advantage of all the benefits Oracle Linux Support provides, including access to the latest packages and updates, 24/7 expert support, My Oracle Support portal with an extensive Linux knowledge base, Oracle Ksplice zero-downtime updates, Oracle Autonomous Linux, and OS Management Service to manage and monitor Oracle Linux instances, and more. Oracle Linux on OCI also provides you with a single point of contact for support across cloud infrastructure, the operating system, and Oracle software.
Oracle Linux for your OCI application workloads
Here are 12 great reasons to consider Oracle Linux for your application workloads in OCI:
◉ Ksplice zero-downtime updates: Using Ksplice, your Oracle Linux kernel and user space are updated and patched with all the latest critical fixes without incurring operational costs or planned downtime. Ksplice is installed and enabled by default for Oracle Linux instances in OCI.
◉ Frequent Oracle Linux image updates: Oracle Linux images available on OCI are frequently updated to help ensure access to the latest software.
◉ Optimized Linux development platform: Easy access to Linux developer and preview software channels is available from the Oracle Linux yum server. Thousands of EPEL packages available under the
EPEL channel are built and signed by Oracle for security and compliance. We also support
Software Collection Library to enable developers to install recent versions of Python, PHP, NodeJS, Nginx, and more, without the risk of disrupting applications running on different versions of these components.
◉ Enhanced cloud developer experience: Oracle Cloud developer tools, such as Terraform infrastructure orchestration software, software development kits (SDKs), and OCI command line interface (CLI), are easily deployed through Oracle-provided yum server RPMs. The
Oracle Linux Cloud Developer image is also an OCI-provided Platform image available for the x86_64 and Arm architectures that enables you to rapidly preinstall, automatically configure, and deploy a comprehensive development environment on OCI. It includes a choice of popular development languages, OCI client tools, database connectors and other tools that can be deployed in minutes, all with a single image from the Oracle Cloud Console.
◉ Automated OS management:
Oracle OS Management service is an OCI integrated solution that helps automate common management tasks for Oracle Linux and Windows Server systems. It provides update and package management and security and compliance reporting tools. Using the
Resource Discovery and Monitoring feature, you gain visibility into Oracle Linux CPU and memory utilization and top processes to help identify and resolve system performance bottlenecks.
◉ Autonomous Linux operation: Based on Oracle Linux,
Oracle Autonomous Linux runs in OCI and is managed with OS Management service. It automatically handles management tasks, including patching with zero downtime without human intervention. It monitors critical OS events and helps keep systems highly secure, save labor costs, and achieve higher availability.
◉ Comprehensive containers and container management support: Oracle Container Registry acts as a trusted source for patched Oracle software container images. Oracle Linux Support is included for Oracle Container Runtime and Oracle Linux Container Services for use with Kubernetes.
◉ Faster downloads: The
Oracle Linux yum server and
Oracle Container Registry are mirrored inside OCI to enable faster downloads of the latest Oracle Linux bug fixes, security, and container images for Oracle software. Because all network traffic stays within the OCI data centers, no internet traffic bandwidth is consumed, and no network charges are incurred.
◉ Rapid deployment: OCI provides easy access and rapid instance deployment using
Oracle Cloud Marketplace and OCI-provided partner images. With a few clicks, you can install Oracle Linux, Oracle Linux-based images such as Oracle Linux KVM, and Oracle Linux Cloud Developer images, and other Oracle and partner software directly from within the Oracle Cloud Console.
◉ High-performance network file system (NFS) server with Oracle Linux Storage Appliance: Quickly and easily build NFS shared storage using NVMe devices attached to OCI bare metal and virtual machine (VM) Compute instances by using the
Oracle Linux Storage Appliance image, available on the
Oracle Cloud Marketplace. Oracle Linux and Autonomous Linux based images are both available.
◉ 100% application binary compatibility with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL): Existing RHEL applications can run without reinstallation or coding changes with Oracle Linux. You can receive support for your RHEL instances in OCI at no extra cost by switching yum to receive updates from the Oracle Linux yum server.
These features make Oracle Linux on OCI not only the most cost-effective and integrated OS in OCI, but it also provides the best application platform experience.
