Overview

This listing is a collection of separate, one per client release and OS, chosen from the Software version dropdown at launch.

Why the cloudimg image

This image arrives installed, configured and hardened, so there is no manual setup before you can use it. It is built on a patched base, runs with credentials generated uniquely for your instance on first boot, and passes an automated health check before every release. Every deployment is backed by 24/7 support from cloudimg engineers.

Key features

  • No default login and no database credentials shipped: key-only SSH, no account with a password, and unique SSH host keys and machine identity generated on each instance's first boot
  • Client only: no Oracle listener or database port, firewalld allowing inbound SSH only, SELinux enforcing, and a fully patched Oracle Linux base with Oracle's base release media
  • Oracle Database Client 11g to 26ai and Oracle Instant Client: pick the client release as the software version at launch

Description

This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for security hardening, secure-by-default configuration and per-instance setup.

What cloudimg adds to every version

  • Every image is built by cloudimg on a fully patched Oracle Linux base with the latest security updates applied at build time, with the Oracle client installed from Oracle's base release media.
  • Key-only SSH, no default password and no two instances share a secret: host keys and machine identity are generated on each instance's first boot, and build residue is removed before capture.

Licensing

No charge applies to the Oracle software; the charges on this listing cover cloudimg's security hardening, secure-by-default configuration, per-instance setup and support. Oracle Instant Client is used under Oracle's Instant Client license terms and the Oracle Database Client under Oracle's license terms for it; you are responsible for complying with them and for licensing any Oracle Database you connect to. The client is installed from Oracle's base release media with no Oracle patch applied: apply Oracle patches with your own Oracle support entitlement. Oracle Database Client 11g Release 2, 12c Release 1, 12c Release 2 and 18c are past Oracle Premier Support and are offered for connecting to legacy databases; use 19c or later for new work.
