Details

An application catalog is a searchable software repository that you can install on an Oracle Cloud Native Environment (Oracle CNE) Kubernetes cluster. Oracle CNE supports two application catalogs: the Oracle catalog that ships with Oracle CNE and the external catalog compatible with Artifact Hub.

The Oracle catalog provides a curated selection of software supplied by Oracle. Oracle CNE ships with a built-in catalog called embedded. You can use the embedded catalog without deploying a Kubernetes cluster. The embedded catalog is updated when you update the ocne CLI.

The other catalog that ships with Oracle CNE is called the Oracle Cloud Native Environment Application Catalog. This catalog deploys onto your Kubernetes cluster as the ocne-catalog pod in the ocne-system namespace.

The embedded catalog is updated when you update the ocne CLI, and the Oracle Catalog is updated when you update the Kubernetes version. This behavior means the contents of the two Oracle-supplied catalogs may differ.
