UIM Cloud Native Manifest File

The UIM cloud native manifest file tracks updates and patches to the following software:

  • Java
  • Oracle Fusion Middleware, including patches
  • Oracle Linux

Oracle updates the manifest files to track Critical Patch Updates for all these components. You are encouraged to uptake the manifests as they are released.

To download the manifest file, see the UIM Cloud Native Manifest Files (Doc ID 2823096.1) knowledge article on My Oracle Support.

For information on how to use the manifest file to build your UIM cloud native images, see "Creating UIM Cloud Native Images" in UIM Cloud Native Deployment Guide.

Container Platforms for UIM Cloud Native

UIM cloud native is designed to be agnostic of the underlying cloud infrastructure. It relies on standard APIs, objects and configuration functions from the software products listed in this document. As such, UIM cloud native is certified on any container platform based on a CNCF-certified Kubernetes, provided the version requirements listed in this document are satisfied.

UIM cloud native has been tested on a standard "upstream" (kubernetes.io) deployment of Kubernetes on Linux VM and bare metal (private lab and IaaS). UIM cloud native has also been tested on the Oracle OCI OKE platform with Oracle Multitenant Database via co-located Oracle Database Service (Bare Metal, VM, and ExaData). UIM cloud native includes specific support for OCI and OKE.

Other Kubernetes distributions and container platforms may impose their own operational, security, and configuration requirements. These would have to be addressed as part of the uptake of UIM cloud native, with support from the third-party provider.

An important requirement is the presence of an Oracle Multitenant Container Database in close network proximity to the platform, in an environment and configuration that is officially supported by Oracle.

UIM Traditional Deployment Software Compatibility

This section describes the software required to support the UIM components for traditional deployment.

Note:

For all operating systems, check the Oracle Database documentation for any additional operating system patches required to support the database.
