The companies say Red Hat OpenShift on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) will be supported for customer-managed installations using certified configurations of Red Hat OpenShift Platform Plus, Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform and Red Hat OpenShift Kubernetes Engine running on OCI Compute virtual machines and bare metal instances.
Such installations will be covered by the existing joint support agreement between the companies.
The move follows the announcement in January 2023 that Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) would be a supported operating system on OCI.

Customers can use the RHEL image builder to create customised RHEL gold images for OCI to suit their workload and security requirements.
"With today's announcement, Red Hat and Oracle continue to deliver on our efforts to extend customer choice and flexibility on OCI to our large, global customer base. Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat OpenShift on OCI offer customers the power to build, deploy and manage enterprise applications on OCI at scale for faster results and with easier manageability, equipping them with the flexibility to choose their level of control and security based on business needs," said Red Hat senior vice president and chief product officer Ashesh Badani.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure senior vice president Karan Batta said "Enterprises are migrating to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to take advantage of the platform's highly performant, secure, and low-cost services.
"Fully certifying and supporting Red Hat OpenShift on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure will enable Red Hat OpenShift customers to simply and easily run their workloads anywhere in the world on OCI's distributed cloud."
