Oracle Autonomous Linux Image
The Oracle Autonomous Linux image is based on Oracle Linux and is used to create Autonomous Linux instances. Autonomous Linux instances are managed using the Autonomous Linux service in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
Autonomous Linux provides:
- Automatic daily updates, including zero-downtime Ksplice updates for kernel, OpenSSL, and glibc libraries.
- Monitoring for critical events, such as a kernel oops or kernel crashes, including collecting and submitting the messages and logs needed to debug and provide a root cause analysis of the event.
For more information, see Autonomous Linux.

When you create an Autonomous Linux instance, it gets registered with the Autonomous Linux service, and a minimum set of required software sources (repositories) are automatically attached to the instance. For more information, see Mandatory Software Sources.
To verify the required software sources (repositories) are attached to the Autonomous Linux instance:
