What is Oracle Linux?
Oracle Linux, which is application binary compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, is free to download, use, and share. There is no license cost, no need for a contract, and no usage audits. 24/7 enterprise-grade support is available for business critical environments. A single support offering includes virtualization, management, HA, and cloud native computing tools such as Kubernetes and Kata Containers, along with the Linux operating system. The vendor states that as the only Linux distribution with zero-downtime automated patching for kernel, hypervisor, and critical user-space libraries, Oracle Linux improves performance of all workloads and is optimized–out of the box–for Oracle software. Autonomous Linux, a self-patching, self-tuning, high-performance implementation of Oracle Linux is available on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
