Oracle Linux 10 is now generally available for 64-bit Intel and AMD (x86_64) and 64-bit Arm (aarch64) platforms. Oracle Linux 10 delivers robust security and exceptional performance for business agility and demanding workloads at cloud scale. Key features include modernized cryptographic capabilities, advancements in developer tooling, and innovations for resilient infrastructure. These enhancements enable organizations to build and run applications faster and more securely across distributed and multicloud environments.
Following the recent release of the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel 8 (UEK 8)—Oracle's optimized kernel based on the latest upstream long-term stable kernel—Oracle Linux 10 includes UEK 8.1. This underscores Oracle's continued focus on providing industry-leading performance and stability that organizations rely on.

Using TLS to secure a NVMe-TCP connection
Traditional NVMe over Fabrics (NVMe-oF) deployments often depend on specialized interconnects like RDMA or Fibre Channel—solutions that can be expensive and complex to manage.
To simplify this, the NVMe specification introduces two mechanisms for secure, low-latency access over standard Ethernet networks:
- NVMe In-Band Authentication (available in UEK 7): Uses a challenge-response protocol with a shared secret to authenticate NVMe-TCP connections.
- Fabric Secure Channel (implemented as NVMe-TLS in UEK 8): Encrypts NVMe-TCP traffic to help ensure confidentiality and integrity.
Both approaches allow secure remote storage access over familiar TCP/IP infrastructure, reducing complexity without compromising performance or security.
Read the blog post to learn how NVMe-TLS provides a robust and efficient solution for securing NVMe over TCP connections.
Userspace vs Kernelspace: Understanding the divide
At the heart of operating systems lies a critical boundary: Userspace vs. Kernelspace. This separation is what keeps modern systems secure, stable, and high-performing—but it also introduces complexity that every developer should understand.
From how system calls bridge the gap between apps and the kernel, to how CPU protection rings enforce control, the userspace/kernelspace divide shapes everything from performance tuning to security hardening.
Read the blog post to explore how this invisible boundary powers everything your system does.
XFS - Online filesystem repair in UEK 8
Online fsck is now available as a technology preview with the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK) 8. This feature gives system administrators a new tool to proactively find errors and bitrot in the filesystem metadata, and allows them to schedule repairs without incurring downtime.
This blog walks you through the process of installing the software and enabling this technology preview. |
