Red Hat, Inc and Oracle recently announced to alliance at multi stage and
offer customers a greater choice of operating systems to run on Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure (OCI).
The strategic collaboration starts with Red Hat Enterprise Linux running on
OCI as a supported operating system, improving the experience for organizations
that rely on both OCI and Red Hat Enterprise Linux to fuel digital transformation
and migration of mission-critical applications to the cloud.
Gartner’s “Forecast: Public Cloud Services, Worldwide, 2020-2026, 4Q22 Update”
states that “worldwide, public cloud services are forecast to grow 18.5% in 2023”
while “organizations continue accelerating cloud adoption, which is driving a
five-year compound annual growth rate of 19.6%.”
This growth indicates a need for broad support of customer choice, both in
terms of cloud provider and the operating system underpinning cloud
environments.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux serves as operating system foundation offering OCI,
performing, mission- critical cloud services, to power digital-forward operations.
These organizations who are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux, are now able to
standardize their cloud operations with Red Hat Enterprise Linux running on OCI,
which enables customers to gain a common platform that stretches from their
datacenter to the OCI distributed cloud.
Key points:
Certified configurations of OCI flexible virtual machines can now run Red Hat
Enterprise Linux, and customers can also migrate existing workloads already
running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux to Red Hat Enterprise Linux on OCI with greater confidence.
OCI flexible virtual machines can scale in increments as small as a single CPU to
optimize price- performance and minimize wasted resources.
Customers can also contact both Red Hat and Oracle support to help resolve
potential issues, with an expanded transparent, joint support agreement.
This collaboration brings in joint customers of Red Hat and Oracle under one
umbrella for future- forward computing deployments on Red Hat Enterprise
Linux while still retaining the value of existing IT investments.

Availability Red Hat Enterprise Linux is initially supported on the most recent
OCI virtual machine shapes using AMD, Intel and Arm processors.
More information on launching Red Hat Enterprise Linux on OCI, including step
by step directions, is available here. In addition, planning work has begun for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux to be certified on OCI’s bare-metal servers, which can
provide greater isolation and performance comparable to on-premises
environments.
Ashesh Badani, senior VP, head of Products, Red Hat said“ Customer choice, from
hardware to cloud provider, is a crucial commitment for Red Hat, whether these organizations are running operations in their own datacenters, on multiple public
clouds or at the far edge.
