Available Yum Repositories

A yum repository is a directory of packages that's typically available on a web server or an ISO image. The directory also includes metadata in a repodata subdirectory. The metadata is updated each time a package changes within the repository directory.

You can configure any client system to use a yum repository by creating a yum repository configuration entry. To install software from the repository, you use either the yum or dnf command to install software from the repository.

Yum repository names don't include the platform architecture because the URL to the repository already identifies the architecture. Therefore, when accessing the yum server, the system is automatically connected to the appropriate architecture's repositories.

Core OS repositories are the minimum required repositories for an Oracle Linux system to function. These repositories are enabled immediately after installation and must remain enabled through the life cycle of an Oracle Linux system.
