Linux
Organizations need complete, secure IT solutions—not just another Linux distribution. Oracle uniquely delivers Linux with everything required to deploy, optimize, and manage applications, on-premises, in the cloud, and at the edge. It’s more secure and easier to manage, and it’s tuned for critical demanding workloads at cloud scale. Automation, virtualization, management, high availability, cloud native tools, Kubernetes, and more are all included and supported with a single Premier Support subscription.
Oracle has been part of the Linux community for 25 years. Our goal has remained the same: help make Linux the best server operating system for everyone, freely available to all, with high-quality, low-cost support for those who need it.
Constellation Research finds five drivers for DevOps automation and explores what sets open source, ansible-based Oracle Linux Automation Manager apart. The report also presents key differentiators and actionable recommendations for CXOs.
IDC research shows that Linux-based operating systems are the most used OS in public cloud environments. In this report, IDC provides analysis and recommendations for selecting the right commercial Linux distribution for on-premises and cloud.

Linux Operating System (OS) with automation, virtualization, and Kubernetes all included
Increase performance and reliability across environments
Engineered for critical workloads, Oracle Linux supports the latest x86 and Arm architectures across on-premises, multicloud, and edge environments. It supports large-scale, data- and compute-intensive workloads and powers the Oracle public cloud.
Automate IT processes and management tasks
Increase scalability, security, and productivity by automating manual processes in DevOps with open source, ansible-based automation tools included in your Linux support at no extra cost.
Modernize and reduce virtualization costs
Use modern, low-overhead, open source KVM hypervisor and management tools to improve performance/scalability and reduce mounting virtualization costs.
Enhance security and compliance
Improve IT security and meet your compliance requirements by applying security vulnerability fixes without downtime for kernel, hypervisor, and critical user-space libraries. Detect known exploits and use a distribution that has FIPS and Common Criteria certifications.
Run cloud native apps on-premises and in the cloud
Use a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)–certified Kubernetes and a curated stack of open source software to configure, deploy, update, and upgrade infrastructure and run cloud native applications—all included at no extra cost with Premier Support.
