question about exadata support lifecycle

in Exadata General (MOSC) 1 commentAnswered

So I'm reading up on the support versions for Exadata. We're currently running 12.1.0.2 on X4-2 hardware.

Doc 888828.1 states that releases for "Exadata System Software" will cease as of Jul-2021. But the database software will still receive updates (under extended support) until mid-2022.

My question is -- what comprises "Exadata System Software" -- does that mean basically everything EXCEPT the actual database software? In other words.... Storage Server OS/software, IB switches, database OS, etc? I want to make sure I have a complete understanding of what will/won't be eligible for updates.

Thanks for any clarification you can provide.
