Cloud Environment

The following features for the cloud environment are available as technology preview.

VM Deployment in Azure

With the updated RHCK, Oracle Linux confidential virtual machines (VMs) can be deployed on Microsoft Azure. Through the availability of Unified Kernel Images (UKIs), you can boot encrypted confidential VM images on that cloud environment. The UKI is available as a kernel-uki-virt package in Oracle Linux 9 repositories.

Note that the Oracle Linux UKI can only be used in a UEFI boot configuration.

This functionality isn't yet available for UEK.
