Oracle Autonomous Linux：用于云计算的自我更新、自我修补的 Linux 发行版
Oracle
自动化是 IT 行业的增长趋势，其目的是消除重复任务中的手动干扰。Oracle 通过推出 Oracle Autonomous Linux 向自动化世界迈出了又一步，这无疑将使 IoT 和云计算行业受益。


### Oracle Autonomous Linux：减少人工干扰，增多自动化


![](/data/attachment/album/201909/22/093857pn9k69e9fn5x9969.png)


周一，Oracle 联合创始人<ruby> 拉里·埃里森 <rt>  Larry Ellison </rt></ruby>参加了在旧金山举行的Oracle OpenWorld 全球大会。[他宣布了](https://www.zdnet.com/article/oracle-announces-oracle-autonomous-linux/)一个新产品：世界上第一个自治 Linux。这是 Oracle 向第二代云迈进的第二步。第一步是两年前发布的 [Autonomous Database](https://www.oracle.com/in/database/what-is-autonomous-database.html)。


Oracle Autonomous Linux 的最大特性是降低了维护成本。根据 [Oracle 网站](https://www.oracle.com/corporate/pressrelease/oow19-oracle-autonomous-linux-091619.html) 所述，Autonomous Linux “使用先进的机器学习和自治功能来提供前所未有的成本节省、安全性和可用性，并释放关键的 IT 资源来应对更多的战略计划”。


Autonomous Linux 可以无需人工干预就安装更新和补丁。这些自动更新包括 “Linux 内核和关键用户空间库”的补丁。“不需要停机，而且可以免受外部攻击和内部恶意用户的攻击。”它们也可以在系统运行时进行，以减少停机时间。Autonomous Linux 还会自动处理伸缩，以确保满足所有计算需求。


埃里森强调了新的自治系统将如何提高安全性。他特别提到了 [Capitol One 数据泄露](https://www.zdnet.com/article/100-million-americans-and-6-million-canadians-caught-up-in-capital-one-breach/)是由于配置错误而发生的。他说：“一个防止数据被盗的简单规则：将数据放入自治系统。没有人为错误，没有数据丢失。 那是我们与 AWS 之间的最大区别。”


有趣的是，Oracle 还瞄准了这一新产品以与 IBM 竞争。埃里森说：“如果你付钱给 IBM，可以停了。”所有 Red Hat 应用程序都应该能够在 Autonomous Linux 上运行而无需修改。有趣的是，Oracle Linux 是从 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 的源代码中[构建](https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=oracle)的。


看起来，Oracle Autonomous Linux 不会用于企业市场以外。


### 关于 Oracle Autonomous Linux 的思考


Oracle 是云服务市场的重要参与者。这种新的 Linux 产品将使其能够与 IBM 竞争。让人感兴趣的是 IBM 的反应会是如何，特别是当他们有来自 Red Hat 的新一批开源智能软件。


如果你看一下市场数字，那么对于 IBM 或 Oracle 来说情况都不好。大多数云业务由 [Amazon Web Services、Microsoft Azure 和 Google Cloud Platform](https://www.zdnet.com/article/top-cloud-providers-2019-aws-microsoft-azure-google-cloud-ibm-makes-hybrid-move-salesforce-dominates-saas/) 所占据。IBM 和 Oracle 落后于他们。[IBM 收购 Red Hat](https://itsfoss.com/ibm-red-hat-acquisition/) 试图获得发展。这项新的自主云计划是 Oracle 争取统治地位（或至少试图获得更大的市场份额）的举动。让人感兴趣的是，到底有多少公司因为购买了 Oracle 的系统而在互联网的狂野西部变得更加安全？


我必须简单提一下：当我第一次阅读该公告时，我的第一反应就是“好吧，我们离天网更近了一步。”如果我们技术性地考虑一下，我们就像是要进入了机器人末日。如果你打算帮我，我计划去购买一些罐头食品。


你对 Oracle 的新产品感兴趣吗？你会帮助他们赢得云战争吗？在下面的评论中让我们知道。

Automation is the growing trend in the IT industry. The aim is to remove the manual interference from the repetitive tasks. Oracle has taken another step into the automation world by launching Oracle Autonomous Linux that is surely going to benefit the IoT and CLoud Computing industry.

## Oracle Autonomous Linux: Less Human Intervention, More Automation

![Oracle Autonomous Linux](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2019/09/oracle-autonomous-linux-800x450.png)

On Monday, Larry Ellison, the legendary co-founder of Oracle, took the stage at the Oracle OpenWorld conference in San Francisco. [He announced](https://www.zdnet.com/article/oracle-announces-oracle-autonomous-linux/) a new product: the world’s first autonomous linux. This is the second step in Oracle’s march towards a second-generation cloud. The first step was the [Autonomous Database](https://www.oracle.com/in/database/what-is-autonomous-database.html) released two years ago.

The biggest feature that Oracle Autonomous Linux is reduced maintenance costs. According to [Oracle’s site](https://www.oracle.com/corporate/pressrelease/oow19-oracle-autonomous-linux-091619.html), Autonomous Linux “uses advanced machine learning and autonomous capabilities to deliver unprecedented cost savings, security, and availability and frees up critical IT resources to tackle more strategic initiatives”.

Autonomous Linux can install updates and patches without human interference. These automatic updates include patches for the “Linux kernel and key user space libraries”. “This requires no downtime along with protection from both external attacks and malicious internal users.” They can also take place while the system is running to reduce downtime. Autonomous Linux also handles scaling automatically to ensure that all computing needs are handled.

Ellison highlighted how the new autonomous would improve security. He mentioned in particular how [Capitol One data breach](https://www.zdnet.com/article/100-million-americans-and-6-million-canadians-caught-up-in-capital-one-breach/) occurred because of a bad configuration. He said “One simple rule to prevent data theft: Put your data in an autonomous system. No human error, no data loss. That’s the big difference between us and AWS.”

Interestingly, Oracle is also aiming this new product to compete with IBM. Ellison said, “If you’re paying IBM, you can stop.” All Red Hat applications should be able to run on Autonomous Linux without modification. Interestingly, Oracle Linux is [built](https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=oracle) from the sources of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

It does not appear that Oracle Autonomous Linux will be available for anyone outside of the enterprise market.

## Thoughts on Oracle Autonomous Linux

Oracle is a big player in the cloud services market. This new Linux product will allow it to compete with IBM. It will be interesting how IBM responds, especially since they have a new influx of open-source smarts from Red Hat.

If you look at the number, things are not looking good for either IBM or Oracle. The majority of the cloud business is controlled by [Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform](https://www.zdnet.com/article/top-cloud-providers-2019-aws-microsoft-azure-google-cloud-ibm-makes-hybrid-move-salesforce-dominates-saas/). IBM and Oracle are somewhere behind them. [IBM bought Red Hat](https://itsfoss.com/ibm-red-hat-acquisition/) in an attempt to gain ground. This new Autonomous Cloud initiative is Oracle’s move for dominance (or at least attempt to gain a larger market share). It will be interesting how many companies buy into Oracle’s system to become more secure in the wild west of the internet.

I have to mention this quickly: when I first read about the announcement, all I could this was “Well, we are one step closer to Skynet.” If we let technology think for itself, we are just inviting an android apocalypse. If you’ll encuse me, I’m going to buy some canned goods.

Are you interested in Oracle’s new product? Do you it will help them win the cloud wars? Let us know in the comments below.
