DevOps Engineer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Hardened, fast-launching base image that streamlined our Kubernetes node deployments
More published documentation around the exact CIS controls applied and how to layer additional Kubernetes-specific hardening, such as kubelet and CIS Kubernetes benchmark, on top would be helpful. A minimal or slim variant tuned specifically for container hosts and clearer release notes per version would also be welcome. Out-of-the-box monitoring and observability integration could be expanded.

Optimized database workloads have run securely and reduced licensing costs through virtualization
The major advantage of Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages is that the update is free. Not just the patching and other things, but the update, some classes and other things, and some packages which I get free updates. If someone wants to use it, the license is free. If someone needs support, they can purchase the support. If someone does not purchase the support, there are free updates from Oracle. This is the major advantage to the customer, as they say that they are getting updates free. With Red Hat Linux, I have to purchase the support, otherwise I cannot get the update. Customers prefer that they are using it free and getting the update, and if they need support, they can purchase it anytime. The other part is that Oracle database runs well on Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages. Whenever there are Intel servers in customer places and customers want to run Oracle database, they prefer Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages. Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages has very better security, but a few of the packages of Oracle still are not compatible with Oracle 9. So still in database perspective and grid perspective, I prefer 8. The feature is that it is very stable, memory consumption is low, and no additional service runs in the background. I can minimize the additional services if I want to stop it, it will stop. It is basically Red Hat Linux modified kernel, so those who know Red Hat Linux earlier can easily use Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages. The other thing is that whenever I require, I can use the KVM of Oracle Linux 9 | Support by SupportedImages free of cost for virtualization. The Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel is a valuable feature. Security part differs, as it is built by the security team and the operating system team must enforce it. However, installation is very easy. Anyone can install it within twenty minutes without issues.
