6.2 Obtaining the OUD Container Image

The Oracle Unified Directory (OUD) Kubernetes deployment requires access to an OUD container image.

Prebuilt OUD Container Image

The latest prebuilt OUD 14.1.2.1.0 container image can be downloaded from Oracle Container Registry. This image is prebuilt by Oracle and includes Oracle Unified Directory 14.1.2.1.0, the latest Patch Set Update (PSU) and other fixes released with the Critical Patch Update (CPU) program.

Note:

Administrators should be aware of the following:
  • The OUD container images available can be found on Oracle Container Registry, by navigating to Middleware > oud for the initial March 2025 release, and Middleware > oud_cpu for subsequent releases that contain the latest PSU and CPU fixes.
  • Before using the image you must login and accept the license agreement.
  • Throughout this documentation, the image repository and tag used is: container-registry.oracle.com/middleware/oud_cpu:14.1.2.1.0-jdk17-ol8-<YYMMDD> where <YYMMDD> is the date shown in the image tag. For the initial March 2025 release, replace with container-registry.oracle.com/middleware/oud:14.1.2.1.0-jdk17-ol8-<YYMMDD>.
You can use this image in the following ways:
  • Pull the container image from the Oracle Container Registry automatically during the OUD Kubernetes deployment.
  • Manually pull the container image from the Oracle Container Registry and then upload it to your own container registry.
  • Manually pull the container image from the Oracle Container Registry and manually stage it on each worker node.
