  • Cloud Accelerates Linux Adoption IDC ANALYZE the FUTURE
    IDC White Paper | Cloud Accelerates Linux Adoption IDC ANALYZE THE FUTURE Sponsored by: Cloud Accelerates Linux Adoption Oracle Corp. IDC OPINION Authors: Ashish Nadkarni Cloud has become a crucial foundation for digital transformation (DX) initiatives and Gary Chen is shaping the IT strategy of enterprises today. Companies are extending their IT February 2018 infrastructure into the cloud for running business-critical applications, developing new applications, and delivering new cloud-based services. Applications are the lifeblood of modern enterprises. They are the foundation on which businesses maintain their existing revenue streams while examining ways to create new ones. A sound application strategy is a must for frms to be successful in expanding their competitive differentiation in the digital economy. Operating systems (OSs) provide a common foundational layer that enables IT to run current and new generations of applications in traditional IT environments, on its own private cloud, and in public clouds and utilize a variety of computing options such as bare metal, virtualization, and containerization. The increased reliance of IT on the cloud has accelerated the adoption of open source operating systems, Linux being the chief among them. Over the past decade, Linux has evolved to be a versatile platform for current- and new-generation applications — a platform that can run in the cloud or on-premises and can include open source tools and frameworks used in modern application development.

It is the recommended replacement for Python’s original platform.linux_distribution() function, but it provides much more functionality. An alternative implementation became necessary because Python 3.5 deprecated this function, and Python 3.8 will remove it altogether. Its predecessor function platform.dist() was already deprecated since Python 2.6 and will also be removed in Python 3.8. Still, there are many cases in which access to OS distribution information is needed. See Python issue 1322 for more information. If you want to jump into the API description right away, read about the consolidated accessor functions. 3 Linux Distribution - a Linux OS platform information API, Release 1.3.0 4 Chapter 1.

    Published on Tux Machines (http://www.tuxmachines.org) Home > content > Latest on CentOS Latest on CentOS By Roy Schestowitz Created 13/12/2020 - 2:59pm Submitted by Roy Schestowitz on Sunday 13th of December 2020 02:59:47 PM Filed under Red Hat [1] Harish Pillay (IBM/Red Hat): The vibrancy of open source projects/products[2] In 2002, Red Hat, in response to customer needs for supportable Linux operating systems, Red Hat created Red Hat Advanced Server 2.1 which in 2003, was renamed as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1. This change to a subscription based model of consumption of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, upset the community who have been consuming Red Hat Linux since the launch of RHL in 1994. Yes, I was part of that user community that was not happy with the change. And, yes, I did try to see what I could do to continue to benefit from what RHL used to provide in the new RHEL space. I was not alone in that pursuit. There were many efforts around the world to create a RHL-like system available at no cost to the end user but based on the RHEL code base. The code base of RHEL is available for download because Red Hat complies to and exceeds the requirements of the GNU General Public License of making available the code that goes into a product. [See here for a twitter thread on how Singtel and Aztech have failed to respect the terms of GPL license of the code running in their products] Of all those efforts, two of them stood out ?

  • Getting the Most from Oracle Database in the Cloud with Oracle Exadata
    White Paper Getting the Most from Oracle Database in the Cloud with Oracle Exadata Sponsored by: Oracle Carl W. Olofson Ashish Nadkarni November 2019 IN THIS WHITE PAPER It has been well established that the best possible environment for running Oracle Database is Oracle Exadata. This white paper focuses on the best solution for Oracle Database users who wish to enjoy the power and reliability of Exadata in conjunction with SaaS and other applications they are running on public cloud services. The paper considers the inherent compromises involved in running Oracle Database on non-Oracle, generic public cloud services, which do not support Oracle Exadata. Finally, the paper examines a solution that involves deploying Exadata in a colocation center that has a high- speed interconnect with the leading public cloud services, delivering Exadata power while overcoming the latency issue of connecting to applications in the public cloud. SITUATION OVERVIEW Oracle Database in the Public Cloud Increasingly, Oracle Database users are looking to move their applications to the public cloud or, in some cases, adopt SaaS applications while seeking to deploy Oracle Database in that public cloud, alongside the application. If the application is an Oracle application, the most straightforward way to do this is to move to the Oracle Cloud version of that application. For other applications, users are often choosing other cloud services, such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP). For databases that do not have significant performance or scalability requirements, deployment in public cloud environments may be just fine. Many Oracle customers, however, depend on the performance, scalability, and robustness that they have come to expect from the Oracle Exadata platform.

  • Licensing; Oracle Software; Cloud Computing Environment
    Licensing Oracle Software in the Cloud Computing Environment Approved Vendors This policy applies to cloud computing environments from the following vendors: Amazon Web Services – Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) and Microsoft Azure Platform (collectively, the ‘Authorized Cloud Environments’). This policy applies to these Oracle programs. For the purposes of licensing Oracle programs in an Authorized Cloud Environment, customers are required to count as follows: Amazon EC2 and RDS - count two vCPUs as equivalent to one Oracle Processor license if hyper-threading is enabled, and one vCPU as equivalent to one Oracle Processor license if hyper-threading is not enabled. Microsoft Azure – count two vCPUs as equivalent to one Oracle Processor license if hyper- threading is enabled, and one vCPU as equivalent to one Oracle Processor license if hyper- threading is not enabled. When counting Oracle Processor license requirements in Authorized Cloud Environments, the Oracle Processor Core Factor Table is not applicable. When licensing Oracle programs with Standard Edition One, Standard Edition 2, or Standard Edition in the product name, the pricing is based on the size of the instance. Authorized Cloud Environment instances with four or fewer Amazon vCPUs, or four or fewer Azure vCPUs, are counted as 1 socket, which is considered equivalent to an Oracle processor license. For Authorized Cloud Environment instances with more than four Amazon vCPUs, or more than four Azure vCPUs, every four Amazon vCPUs used (rounded up to the nearest multiple of four), and every four Azure vCPUs used (rounded up to the nearest multiple of four) equate to a licensing requirement of one socket.
