Supported Hypervisors for Private Virtual Infrastructures

Oracle supports installation of the OCCSM on the following hypervisors:

• KVM: Linux kernel version (3.10.0-123 or later), with KVM/QEMU (2.9.0_16 or later) and libvirt (3.9.0_14 or later)
• VMware: vSphere ESXi (Version 6.5 or later)

Compatibility with OpenStack Private Virtual Infrastructures

Oracle distributes Heat templates for the Newton and Pike versions of OpenStack. Use the Newton template when running either the Newton or Ocata versions of OpenStack. Use the Pike template when running Pike or a later version of OpenStack.

Supported Public Cloud Platforms

In S-CZ9.1.5, you can run the OCCSM on the following public cloud platforms.

• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) - After deployment, you can change the shape of your machine by, for example, adding disks and interfaces. OCI Cloud Shapes and options validated in this release are listed in the table below.

  Shape	OCPUs/VCPUs	vNICs	Tx/Rx Queues	Max Forwarding Cores	DoS Protection
  VM.Standard2.4	4/8	4	2	2	Y
  VM.Standard2.8	8/16	8	2	2	Y
  VM.Standard2.16	16/32	16	2	2	Y

  Networking using image mode [SR-IOV mode - Native] is supported on OCI. PV and Emulated modes are not currently supported.

Platform Hyperthreading Support

Of the supported hypervisors, only VMware does not expose SMT capability to the OCCSM. For public cloud deployment, OCI enables SMT by default and exposes it to the OCCSM.
