VM Instance
Huge enterprises like Spotify, eBay, and PayPal use Docker on Oracle Linux 8 for accelerated app creation and sharing. A Docker on Oracle Linux 8 container is a standardized unit of software for development, distribution, and deployment. It packs together the code and its dependencies for a portable, scalable application. The container image is a lightweight standalone unit allowing code to be run in any computing environment.
Oracle Linux 8 is the most comprehensive Linux environment to date. It provides virtualization, management, automation, and cloud native computing tools. It modernizes, optimizes, and secures hybrid and multicloud infrastructures. Applications can run on-premises, in Oracle Cloud, and in other clouds. Specially designed for Hybrid Cloud, Linux includes the latest open standards virtualization and cloud native tools. Oracle Linux 8 is the only autonomous operating system (OS), which reduces OS management task complexity and overhead. It also includes automated Linux patching with no reboot required, for the kernel, hypervisor, and critical user-space libraries.
Docker on Oracle Linux 8 containerization is an alternative solution to Virtual Machines. Containers share OS kernel resources and are more efficient than VMs. Applications built in Docker are ported between Linux, Windows, and macOS, both virtually and in the cloud. Docker is lightweight and highly scalable, so multiple containers simultaneously run per server or VM instance. Greater resource utilization decreases server costs to increase overall value.
Docker on Oracle Linux 8 supports virtualization and containers in one image to get the most of your enterprise OS. This makes it popular among IT and enterprise users. Oracle Linux 8 is also ideal for DevSecOps who wish to minimize hostile vehicle mitigation (HVM). Installation is minimal and provides flexible scalability from nano instances to larger fleets for compatibility with your needs.
Oracle Linux 8 Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK) and Red Hat Compatible Kernel are updated on the installation image. It includes kernel live patching (KLP), which applies critical security patches while the kernel runs, with no reboot required. A constantly updated enterprise is maintained without IRQs interrupting business activities.
Oracle Linux 8 is 100% application binary compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), independent of the kernel underlying the OS. Versatility is offered between the native pre-configured RPM repository and user space compatibility with RHEL. The Oracle Linux 8 kernel is more innovative than other commercial Linux kernels. It runs at higher performance than is possible on image-import.
Ntegral certified images are always up-to-date, secure, and built to work right out of the box.
Ntegral packages applications following industry standards, and continuously monitors all components and libraries for vulnerabilities and application updates. When any security threat or update is identified, Ntegral automatically repackages the applications and pushes the latest versions to the cloud marketplaces.
