Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Linux

Oracle Linux was recommended as a replacement for CentOS as that product was being deprecated. The initiative was taken to replace CentOS with Oracle Linux after a careful review of other Linux Distro available. Since the client has a large server farm of the LAMP stack, Oracle Linux was the best choice to be implemented to host their application. The Oracle Linux deployment was done via Terraform on Azure.
  • Automation of Deployment.
  • High Availability and Scalability.
  • Identity and Access Management Packages.
  • Core Kernel Reliability.
  • Better Documentation by Oracle Linux.
  • Most RPM packages are missing and need to be installed from external repositories.
  • Quicker Time to Market.
  • Lesser learning curve for existing CentOS admin team.
  • Minimal Migration Effort.
The time to respond has been very efficient. The community contribution is great as well.

Oracle Linux is well suited for hosting LAMP stack applications on Cloud. I would recommend the product as a replacement for CentOS or Redhat Linux, as a more stable solution available in the market. Most of my Oracle Linux Deployments are on Microsoft Azure and I see that as the most preferred platform to host Oracle Linux.
