OSM Cloud Native Manifest File

The OSM cloud native manifest file tracks updates and patches to the following software:

  • Java
  • Oracle Fusion Middleware, including patches
  • Oracle Instant Client
  • Oracle Linux

Oracle updates the manifest files to track Critical Patch Updates for all these components. You are encouraged to uptake the manifests as they are released.

To download the manifest file, see the "OSM Cloud Native Manifest Files (Doc ID 2721663.1)" knowledge article on My Oracle Support.

For information on how to use the manifest file to build your OSM cloud native images, see "Creating OSM Cloud Native Images" in OSM Cloud Native Deployment Guide.

Container Platforms for OSM Cloud Native

OSM cloud native is designed to be agnostic of the underlying cloud infrastructure. It relies on standard APIs, objects and configuration functions from the software products listed in this document. As such, OSM cloud native is certified on any container platform based on a CNCF-certified Kubernetes, provided the version requirements listed in this document are satisfied.

OSM cloud native has been tested on a standard (kubernetes.io) deployment of Kubernetes. OSM cloud native has also been tested on Oracle OCI OKE platform with Oracle Multitenant Database via co-located Oracle Database Service (Bare Metal, VM, and ExaData). OSM cloud native includes specific support for OCI and OKE.

Other Kubernetes distributions and container platforms may impose their own operational, security and configuration requirements. These would have to be addressed as part of the uptake of OSM cloud native, with support from the third party provider.

An important requirement is the presence of an Oracle Multitenant Container Database in close network proximity to the platform, in an environment and configuration that is officially supported by Oracle.

OSM Traditional Deployment Software Compatibility

This section describes the software required to support the OSM components for traditional deployment.

Note:

For all operating systems, check the Oracle Database documentation for any additional operating system patches required to support the database.

Table 1-3 Supported Software for OSM Traditional Deployment

Software Version Notes

Oracle Linux

9.x (x >= 3)

8.x (x >= 2)

Oracle products certified on Oracle Linux are also supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux due to implicit compatibility between both distributions. Oracle does not run any additional testing on Red Hat Enterprise Linux products.

Oracle recommends the latest available update, because later updates may provide modest performance gains.

Solaris

11.x (x >= 3)

Supported on SPARC platforms only.

Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure

12.2.1.4

Fusion Middleware Infrastructure is included in the OSM software media pack. It includes Oracle WebLogic Server, Oracle Coherence, and Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF).
Oracle Fusion Middleware Patches

April 2024 CPU and Overlay patches (Recommended).

Install the patches listed in the "Critical Patch Updates and Overlay Patches for Fusion Middleware" section.

Note: Patch 29448643 is included in Fusion Middleware 12.2.1.4 and need not be applied again. If you see non-WLS deserialization issues where a value of 100 is not sufficient, then increase the value using the system property as per the following workaround:

Set the “-Dweblogic.oif.serialFilter=maxdepth=1000” flag in JAVA_OPTIONS for the managed servers.

Java

For Linux and Solaris, 8 update 411 (Recommended).

Not applicable

Oracle Database (installed as Container Database)
