ABOUT ORACLE LINUX GROUP
Oracle's Linux team develops on and contributes to upstream Linux
to support our engineered system as well as Oracle's Cloud
infrastructure. Our team patches and enhances the Linux kernel and
promotes the adoption of Linux at Oracle and in the industry in
general. Developers in this role are expected to be active
contributors to upstream Linux.
Through our experience with engineered systems such as the flagship
Exadata, we created an additional kernel option, the Unbreakable
Enterprise Kernel. Supporting engineered systems required us to be
more innovative and modern with the Linux kernel, and UEK is a
Linux kernel which combines mainline Linux performance with
enterprise stability. UEK has secured world record database
benchmarks for Oracle and provides the fastest execution
environment for Oracle products. This kernel is refreshed from
upstream Linux every 18 months, ensuring that new features can be
used by these products in a timely fashion.
Oracle Linux was created in 2006 to provide a Linux solution which
was well-tested for enterprise products such as the Oracle
Database, Middleware and applications, coupled with
enterprise-level support. Oracle has been an active contributor to
Linux since 1998, shipping the first ever commercial database on
Linux and contributing multiple filesystems and feature
enhancements. Our core focus is developing open-source products and
improving the stability and performance of the OS. Most projects
for our team are in C, python, and bash shell. Projects initiated
or led by Oracle include core Linux components: btrfs, the next
generation Linux filesystem; OCFS2, a general-purpose filesystem;
t10 DIF, enforcing data integrity throughout the IO stack; and RDS,
a reliable datagram socket replacement for UDP on Infiniband
fabrics. A comprehensive listing of our open-source contributions
can be found on oss.oracle.com and oss.oracle.com/git.
