OAS 2024 Oracle Linux 9 certification

Michal Zima

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: https://docs.oracle.com/en/middleware/bi/analytics-server/administer-oas/certification-systems.html .

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.
