Containers

The following features and functionalities that are related to containers are deprecated in Oracle Linux 9.

Oracle Linux 9 Containers on Oracle Linux 7 Hosts

Creating Oracle Linux 9 containers on an Oracle Linux 7 host is unsupported. Attempts to deploy this configuration might succeed, but is not guaranteed.

SHA-1 Algorithm Within Podman

Support for using the SHA-11 algorithm to generate the filename of the rootless network namespace is removed in Podman. You should restart rootless containers that were configured by using Podman earlier than version 4.1.1. Restarting these containers rather than just using slirp4netns ensures that these containers and join the network and connect with containers that were created with upgraded Podman versions.

CNI Network Stack

The Container Network Interface (CNI) network stack is deprecated. You can use the Netavark network stack with Podman and other Open Container Initiative (OCI) container management applications. The Netavark network stack for Podman is also compatible with advanced Docker functionalities.
