Oracle Linux Compute Node Guests
The guest operating systems supported and certified on Oracle Linux (KVM) compute nodes are:
Oracle Linux Release 6

You may also be able to create instances with the guest operating systems supported by KVM, although no Oracle Support is offered for these operating systems. For a list of the operating systems supported by KVM, see:
