1.1 About Oracle Tuxedo for OCI Images

Oracle Tuxedo for OCI images are preinstalled with the Oracle Tuxedo software version 22.1.0.0.0, shipped with Rolling Patch 001 (RP001). The Oracle Tuxedo for OCI images use Oracle Linux 8.6 as the operating system.

Oracle Tuxedo for OCI supports:

Bring Your Own License (BYOL) Images: If you already have a valid Tuxedo license and a support contract to use Tuxedo, then you can bring those licenses to OCI for using the BYOL images. You will only pay for the charges associated with the infrastructure and the computing, for example, OCPUs, storage, and anything else required by the Tuxedo application.
Universal Credits Model (UCM) Images: Using UCM images incurs a fee per OCPU per hour for accessing the Tuxedo software. The use of these images implies a license and support agreement, even though a contract is not required.
