Oracle Catalog

The Oracle catalog is a collection of cloud native application software provided by Oracle. Oracle CNE applications are delivered through the Oracle catalog. The Oracle catalog can be accessed in two ways, either using the embedded version in the CLI, or from an application deployed to a Kubernetes cluster.

The embedded catalog is built into the CLI, and is named embedded. This catalog can be accessed and queried without deploying a Kubernetes cluster.

The Oracle catalog can also be deployed to a cluster, and is named Oracle Cloud Native Environment Application Catalog. The CLI deploys the ocne-catalog application from the Oracle Container Registry to a cluster in the ocne-system namespace. The ocne-catalog application includes a Helm repository, and an instance of NGINX that serves the static content. While the Oracle catalog can be served anywhere that has a container runtime, it's primarily intended to be run within the Kubernetes cluster that consumes its contents.

Note:

The list of applications included in the Oracle catalog is available in the upstream Oracle CNE documentation. To see the application list that matches the Oracle CNE release, select the release branch in the Branches drop down. For example:

The embedded Oracle catalog is updated when you update the CLI. The Oracle catalog running as an application in the cluster can be updated using the ocne application update command. This means that the catalog contents might differ. For more information on updating the Oracle catalog running in the cluster, see Updating the Oracle Catalog.
