Thanks to Chuck Anderson, Linux kernel developer, Oracle, for compiling the information in this post. Enhancements to mainline Linux continue at a steady pace, though we don’t always hear a lot about this work. With the 5.1 release upon us, we wanted to give a shout out to some important and notable additions that the 5.0 release brought to bear. Some we chose because our kernel developers are directly involved, some because they affect Oracle workloads, and others simply...

Did you know that in 2017, U.S. federal agencies reported 35,277 cybersecurity incidents for their IT systems? And that in 2018, malicious cyber activity cost the U.S. economy between $57-109 billion dollars? This new GovLoop market trends report discusses the challenges facing government agencies. Like private enterprises, federal agencies need layers of protection in their data centers and clouds. Several things have been happening in the Oracle Linux group to help our...

In this blog post, Oracle Linux kernel developer Rahul Yadav discusses a few details about version 2 of his libresource project. As discussed in my previous blog[1] on libresource, we are working on a library which provides APIs to get system resource information for user-land applications. The system resource information includes information related to memory, networking, devices and various other statistics. Currently an application developer needs to read this information...

This post was updated on 20 March, 2019 to reflect changes in the way yum configuration works. A few months ago we added dedicated repositories for Node.js to the Oracle Linux yum server. These repos also include an RPM with the Oracle Database driver for Node.js, node-oracledb, so you can connect your Node.js application to the Oracle Database. In this post I describe the steps to install Node.js 10 and node-oracledb Node.js to Oracle Database. If you are in a rush or want...

Introduction One of Oracle’s top 10 predictions for developers in 2019 was that a hybrid model that falls between virtual machines and containers will rise in popularity for deploying applications. Kata Containers are a relatively new technology that combine the speed of development and deployment of (Docker) containers with the isolation of virtual machines. In the Oracle Linux and virtualization team we have been investigating Kata Containers and have recently released...

This blog entry was contributed by Maxim Kartashev In the previous post I focused on the static analysis capabilities of the gcc 7.3 compiler. Warnings issued at compile time can point to the place in a program where an error at run time might occur, thus enabling the programmer to fix the program even before it is run. Not all run time errors can be predicted at compile time, though, and there are good and bad reasons why. For instance, there might be many annoying false...
