About Oracle Tuxedo for OCI Images

The Oracle Tuxedo software version must be 22.1.0.0.0 or 22.1.1.0.0, depending on the image you select. If there are new rolling patches available after you create some VMs from the Tuxedo for OCI images, it is recommended that you apply the patches to your VMs. The Oracle Tuxedo for OCI images uses Oracle Linux 8.x as the operating system. The Oracle Linux operating system must be at least version 8.6.

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.
