Managed platform has reduced our operations workload and delivers faster cluster startups
I wouldn't say it's specifically an Oracle Linux pro, but when using Oracle Linux with a Kubernetes engine, it provides you with all the necessary libraries that it needs for a startup. This means quicker startup time and quicker joining to the cluster. It's just fast when you use Oracle Linux because it's optimized for your OKE engine. When I mention quicker startup time and easier joining to the cluster, it means you have a pretty good startup when you want to scale, you don't have to wait longer times just for your nodes to come up. When you have your traffic spiking, you don't want to wait that two to three minutes extra for a node to join the cluster, so that's where you have that advantage. And even for the customers when we give them access, it's a better startup since it's optimized and has all the necessary libraries. When I mention our workload is reduced because it's managed and optimized, it is approximately 80 to 90 percent of our workload is reduced because Kubernetes also releases frequent updates. You don't have to migrate to a new one; when you're migrating, it's pretty quick. All the security patches are handled by Oracle. The newer updates are provided by Oracle, and you don't have to test it. You will need to do some rounds of testing, but way less than managing your own Linux.

Pros

"Using InfrOS accelerates the process of migration planning and execution."
"I have observed improvements in CI/CD infrastructure optimization, designing AI-native workloads, exploring pricing alternatives, and forecasting."
"For me, I like that fact that Oracle Linux is very similar, of course, to CentOS and Red Hat, and Application Testing Suit makes it a lot more customizable for us, and we are also able to monitor it with our software, so these features make Oracle Linux very simple with very little configuration changes needed."
"It is a great product to have."
"Once installed, the product is good, I like it. The core of the software is really good."
"Oracle Linux is free, you only pay for support."
"There are several valuable features in Oracle Linux, for example, it's very secure and stable, you don't have to reboot it frequently, and you also don't have memory issues, especially when it is engineered with platforms like Exadata and Oracle Cluster that give you the most throughput and performance."
"Oracle Linux is secure, and we have end-to-end support from Oracle, from the operating system to applications and ERP."
"Since standardizing on Oracle Linux with the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel, a noticeable reduction in performance-related incidents has been observed and less time has been spent on kernel or system driver troubleshooting."
"Speed, simplicity, and performance; every DBA and OS administrator like the simple fact that one RPM install can be very powerful and can configure all prereqs."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the Github connection."
"I would really like to have features that will help me analyze my usage on existing environments in the cloud and suggest architectural optimization improvements."
"I choose a nine instead of a ten because I do not think it is the perfect operating system; I consider that there are a lot of better options."
"In the early days of using the product, Fujitsu had some issues with both the stability and functionality of the product."
"They should increase security."
"Few people use the solution because its marketing is faltering."
"My experience with customer support for Oracle Linux has been acceptable; I have had one or two opportunities to reach out to them, and the experience has not been bad."
"The price of Oracle Linux should improve, it is expensive compared to other solutions."
"I find Oracle's support to be deficient in response time; it is often low, and the call options for small price forms are difficult."
"I would want Oracle to explore more of Kubernetes and micro services."
