1 Network Bridge Cloud Native Software Compatibility
To run, manage, and monitor your Oracle Communications Network Bridge cloud native software, ensure that you use the latest versions of all compatible software.
Topics in this document:
Caution:
-
System administrators are responsible for ensuring that all installed software dependencies are kept up to date wherever possible. Oracle supports versions of the software where the software vendor declares backward compatibility to the version certified with Network Bridge and where the upgrade is a minor version increment (that is, A.B.C to A.B.D).
It is crucial for system administrators to adopt this policy for software dependencies for which upgrades are generally related to security rather than focusing on functionality.
-
Oracle does not provide support for any prerequisite third-party software installation or configuration. The customer must handle any installation or configuration issues related to non-Oracle prerequisite software.
