Oracle Linux overview

What is Oracle Linux?

Oracle Linux is an open-source operating system designed to help businesses handle virtualization, development, and management of cloud-native applications. The platform enables users to streamline performance tracking and security management operations for hybrid and multi-cloud deployments.

Oracle Linux allows employees to optimize IT infrastructures, view source codes and binaries, and deploy software updates. IT professionals can search the integrated catalog to gain information about independent software vendors (ISVs) and their applications running on the operating system. It also helps administrators monitor the performance of enterprise workloads, reduce total cost of ownership (TCO), and track the latest Linux kernel releases. Oracle Linux enables users to handle hardware-accelerated memory encryption for securing active data stored in RAMs, CPU caches, or CPU registers.

Oracle Linux facilitates binary-code compatibility with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). It lets software developers monitor and analyze the behavior of the operating system and user programs through a tracing framework, DTrace.
