Container Platforms for ASAP Cloud Native

ASAP cloud native is designed to be agnostic of the underlying cloud infrastructure. It relies on standard APIs, objects and configuration functions from the software products listed in this document. As such, ASAP cloud native is certified on any container platform based on a CNCF-certified Kubernetes, provided the version requirements listed in this document are satisfied.

ASAP cloud native has been tested on a standard "upstream" (kubernetes.io) deployment of Kubernetes on a Linux VM and bare metal (private lab and IaaS). ASAP cloud native has also been tested on the Oracle OCI OKE platform with Oracle Multitenant Database via co-located Oracle Database Service (Bare Metal, VM, and ExaData). ASAP cloud native includes specific support for OCI and OKE.

Other Kubernetes distributions and container platforms may impose their own operational, security, and configuration requirements. These would have to be addressed as part of the uptake of ASAP cloud native, with support from the third-party provider.

An important requirement is the presence of an Oracle Multitenant Container Database in close network proximity to the platform, in an environment and configuration that is officially supported by Oracle.

ASAP Traditional Deployment Software Compatibility

This section describes the software required to support the ASAP components for traditional deployment.

Note:

For all operating systems, check the Oracle Database documentation for any additional operating system patches required to support the database.
