"A Robust Operating System"
5/5
What do you like best about Oracle Linux?

It provides great performance to the Oracle products running on the system. For instance, Oracle DB performs muh better on the OEL platform. Compared to other vendor's Linux, OEL is used in setting up the whole Oracle Cloud Infrastructure platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Linux?

Managing of the repository is a bit of pain in OEL as compared to its competitors. The support from Oracle needs to be better as REDHAT provides better technical support for RHEL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Oracle Linux is best os platform for Kubernetes"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Oracle Linux?

I have been using oracle linux for years but I have started using oracle linux 8.5 for deployment of kubernetes master and worker nodes. Speed and simplicity I found it easy to use and faster than many other os platforms. U can also resolve dependancies simply using yum. So with docker containers and kubernetes this works best and its my experiance which is talking. So go ahed and spinup ec2 oracke linux instances and get your handon. Also it works magic on onpremise setups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Oracle Linux?

I think there are very few downsides of using oracle linux. So go ahed and use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
