Details

In addition to downloading standard installation images for different platforms, you can generate your own custom Oracle Linux images with the Image Builder tool to install Oracle Linux.

All additional packages and customizations you plan to add to your new custom image are defined using a blueprint. The tool creates your custom composer image based on your blueprint and chosen image format, ready to deploy on various cloud and bare metal platforms. The custom images are stored in the tool and ready to be downloaded whenever needed.

The tool works from the command line or from the Image Builder page in the Cockpit web console.
