Operating Systems
Oracle Linux 10 Minimal, the RHEL 10 compatible enterprise Linux base cut down to Oracle's own core package group for cloud virtual machines.
Overview
Oracle Linux 10 Minimal is the minimal package profile variant of Oracle Linux 10, Oracle's free, binary compatible enterprise Linux distribution with both the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel and the Red Hat Compatible Kernel. There is no application layered on top: the operating system is the product. It keeps Oracle's own core package group plus what a cloud virtual machine needs to be provisioned, networked, patched and managed, and removes the rest, such as Perl, the LLVM libraries, fonts and spell checking dictionaries, the NFS and iSCSI clients, Bluetooth, the desktop disk manager and the support and tuning tools, so it carries roughly 170 fewer packages than the standard image and a smaller surface to patch and secure.
Why the cloudimg image
cloudimg trims the image against a verifiable contract rather than a guess: every package that remains is inside Oracle's core group or the Azure provisioning path, the build refuses to capture if anything outside it survives, and a written package profile on the image lists what was removed so you can add any of it back with one dnf command. There is no default login: SSH access is by the key you supply at launch, password authentication is off and root is locked. SELinux ships enforcing with correct labels, SSH is the only listener, automatic updates are armed and proven with a real dry run, and the image comes with a paired deploy guide and 24/7 support.
Common uses
- A lean RHEL 10 compatible base for building your own services and container hosts
- Workloads that want a smaller package, patch and CVE footprint than the standard image
- Golden image pipelines that add only the packages each workload needs
