Oracle Releases Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel 8 Powered By Linux 6.12 LTS


Oracle today debuted the newest version of their Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel 'UEK' designed to be paired with their RHEL-derived Oracle Linux operating system as a heavily-patched version of the Linux kernel

With today's release of UEK 8 they have rebased atop the current Linux 6.12 long-term support codebase. UEK 8 also now prefers a 64K base page size on AArch64 rather than 4K, CFS has been replaced by the EEVDF scheduler, and DTrace 2.0 continues to be available within this kernel flavor. Oracle UEK kernel modules are also now delivered in more atomic packages in the name of security and maintenance.
