This is an all new Oracle Linux Server version 8.8 AMI finally with XFS root filesystem and ENA enabled. Fully compatible with RedHat kernel release using pre-configured Oracle rpm repositories. This AMI is intended for new Linux server instances and the recommended migration target for hosted application projects that benefit from an XFS filesystem. This AMI runs as a Hardware Virtualized Machine (HVM), 64bit, with ec2-user SeLinux context. This OS and boot partition are XFS filesystem format, which gives this AMI a competitive edge over others. This image uses Oracle Linux Server minimal install, which can operate well on nano instance types; yet provides the most flexibility in terms of scaling instance types and packages to fit your needs. Unlike other pricing models, TLC charges one super-low hourly or yearly rate on any size instance. Optional Oracle Enterprise OEL support, not included, is among the best in the business. Note: due to current AWS xen and nitro host limits, XFS root is bootable in kernel 4 only, which is the AMI default. This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for system updates and product development. This AMI uses IMDSV2 'optional' only . IMDSV2 'required' will cause password and SSH key setup to fail, preventing access. This is a repackaged software product wherein AWS charges are applied for latest OS updates, and XFS systems integration and configuration.
