Hi Manu,
Even though Oracle Linux is probably 99.9% compatible with the tested, supported Linux systems, I can't in good conscience recommend that you plan a Production deployment on this OS because:
- there is a burden of additional testing on your team to prove it works
- there is a risk that if you open a Support case related to any problem that could be related to the OS including compatibility, resources, or performance, they may ask you to reproduce the problem on a supported OS
If none of the supported Linux variants are available to your customer, my recommendation is to leverage the AppDynamics SaaS environment for the platform. This will provide:
- fully supported infrastructure managed by experts
- automatic maintainance and upgrades
- access to the latest features
- huge scalability on demand
For these reasons, my most successful customers are those that leverage AppDynamics SaaS.
Security concerns about performance data residing in SaaS is mitigated by SOC 2 compliance, role-based access control with support for LDAP and SAML, and data encryption at rest and in flight.
