Oracle Autonomous Linux keeps cloud servers running while installing security patches and bug fixes, and automatically tunes performance.

This repo is to create Oracle Linux 9.5 image for use with Openstack Cloud. First source openstack-openrc.rc for all the environment variables of openstack cloud.

Oracle Linux differs from the others in two main ways: It doesn't support as many different CPU architectures, and Oracle offers its own kernel with some additional features, notably Btrfs support.

What are we to make of Oracle announcing support for an open stack of cloud foundation software for its distribution of Linux and Xen? Are we seeing a culture clash?
