No worries, this isn’t a blog post from the vault. And I haven’t accidentally published something from the past just today. It is real. Oracle Database 12.2.0.1 and GI are certified on OL8 and RHEL8.

What has been certified?

Oracle Database 12.1.0.2 certified on Oracle Linux 8 and RHEL8

The other day I received a question on Twitter regarding my experience with Oracle 12.1.0.2 on Linux 8. I first thought this may be an error. Why should Oracle 12.1.0.2 been certified on Linux 8.

Oh … I’d say this was the question I’ve got asked the second most often in the past months (after a potential extension for Oracle 12.2.0.1 support): When will Oracle certify OL8 and RHEL8?
