Introducing UEK-next, Oracle's continuous integration Linux kernel release
Oracle developers are prolific and prominent contributors to core areas of the Linux kernel. One question we are often asked is how we manage to do both upstream development and produce a stable, enterprise kernel at the same time. As part of our commitment to keeping Linux Open and Free, we've decided to make our upstream kernel builds public so you can see exactly how we do this and even try it out on your own systems. We believe that allowing customers to validate their applications and workloads with the latest versions of Linux is the best way to prevent "vendor lock-in" by the OS provider—while also allowing customers to confirm the ways that upstream Linux can benefit their applications.

The evolution of computing has been marked by a series of paradigm shifts, from mainframes to personal computers, and now to the cloud. Currently, the common path to deploying web infrastructure is to be a paying customer of a large company like Amazon or Google, and write infrastructure as code to spin up a constellation of interoperable services on their machines.
