Ubuntu on OKE worker nodes

Ubuntu images are now available for worker nodes on Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE).

Supported OKE configurations

Currently there are only a select number of suites and Kubernetes versions supported due to this being a Limited Availability release. For a list of supported OKE configurations, see our Ubuntu availability on OKE page.

Deployment options

To deploy an Ubuntu worker node on OKE, you can use the Oracle Cloud Console (CLI), or Terraform. For detailed instructions, refer to:

Updates and security patches

For node stability, the unattended-upgrades package has been removed from the Ubuntu image for OKE. Should your nodes need updates or security patches then refer to the Oracle documentation on node cycling for managed nodes and node cycling for self-managed nodes.
