Notable Changes

The following changes are notable in this image update:

  • Updates for bug fixes and security patches.
  • The Minimal Oracle Linux 9 platform image has been optimized to provide a minimum footprint with an accelerated boot time.

  • The Minimal Oracle Linux 9 image supports:

    • VM shapes in paravirtualized (PV) mode only.
    • VM Shapes running on x86_64 (AMD and Intel).

  • The following systemd services are disabled in the minimal image:

    • auditd
    • kdump
    • dnf-makecache.timer
    • oracle-cloud-agent-updater
    • NetworkManager-wait-online

    These services can be enabled by using the systemctl enable <service-name> command.

  • If you are using Oracle Ksplice, see Install the Oracle Ksplice packages for installation instructions.
  • No SELinux access control is enforced in the Minimal Oracle Linux 9 platform image.

  • The Minimal Oracle Linux 9 platform image doesn't have the same repository enablement as the standard image. To see the available repositories on the image, run the sudo dnf repolist command.

    Note: Be sure to do a dnf update after first boot to apply available security and bug fixes.

  • The OCI Utilities aren't installed in the minimal image. If you use the OCI Utilities, see Installing the OCI Utilities for installation instructions.

Note that changes to infrastructure that images depend on can occur outside of the release of a particular image but could impact an image nonetheless. For information about changes that are specific to Oracle Linux images but which occur outside of the image release schedule, see General Notices for Oracle Linux Images.
