We are currently running our OAS 2023 instances on machines with Oracle Linux 7.9 (planning to upgrade to OAS 2024 soon).
Our IT operation (together with IT security) established a plan to migrate all machines to Oracle Linux 9 (as the latest OL version and thus with longest support period release - see:
https://www.oracle.com/a/ocom/docs/elsp-lifetime-069338.pdf
).
But Oracle Linux 9 is currently not listed in certified OS for OAS (latest 2024 release) - just Oracle Linux 7 (where premier support ends in December 2024) and Oracle Linux 8:

.
So for us having OAS 2024 certified against Oracle Linux 9 in very short time would be very beneficial for us, since we can directly migrate our OAS boxes to Oracle Linux 9 (bypassing Oracle Linux 8). Oracle Linux 9 is a preferred version for our IT operation/IT security.
