On January 1, 2025, Oracle Linux 7 moved from Premier to Extended Support. Oracle Cloud customers using Oracle Linux are entitled to both Premier Support and Extended Support (when offered). For more information about the Extended Support program, see Oracle Linux Extended Support.
The following changes are notable in this image update:
Includes OS updates for bug fixes and security patches.
Introduces a new systemd NFS service to mitigate an NFSv4 bug.
Updates the dhclient-exit-hook scripts as follows for improved resiliency:
Retries added on obtaining invalid Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) name.
Retries are done for up to 120 seconds after which an FQDN name that is still invalid results in a failure exit code.
Note that changes to infrastructure such 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.
