Overview of OS Management Hub in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

On April 23, 2025, OS Management reaches end of life (EOL). Effective now, the service is no longer available to you in regions where you are not already using OS Management, or to new users with new tenancies.  



Oracle OS Management Hub (previously known as OS Management) represents the cutting-edge solution for managing your operating system environments. With a centralized management console, you can efficiently oversee updates and patches for instances across Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), on-premises data centers, and supported third-party cloud environments.

 


The Oracle OS management Hub manages and monitors updates and patches for the OS environments through a single Management console or hub. the OS management Hub service on Oracle Cloud infrastructure provides one Hub to manage updates and patches through immediate or scheduled jobs and provide summary or detailed reports of patch levels across your organization the OS.

 



OS Management Hub provides:

  • Tools for tracking and resolving critical security and bug updates across environments of Oracle Linux instances.
  • Methods for grouping systems and monitoring updates.
  • Capabilities to deliver staged rollouts of security errata and other content, with control points from development through production.
  • Integration with mission critical Oracle Linux features, such as Oracle Ksplice for zero-downtime security updates.
