kernel-3.10.0-862.el7
Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK).
kernel-uek-4.1.12-112.16.4.el7uek
Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 4 update 6 (UEK R4u6), which is the default kernel.
Oracle Linux maintains user space compatibility with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), which is independent of the kernel version that underlies the operating system.
Existing applications in user space will continue to run unmodified on Oracle Linux 7 Update 5 with the UEK Release 4 and no re-certifications are needed for
applications already certified with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 or Oracle Linux 7.
There are a number of new features available across key focus areas like security, networking, storage and virtualization.
For more details, please take a look at our <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/announcing-the-release-of-oracle-linux-7-update-5">announcement</a>.
Oracle Linux will continue to provide production support for the btrfs file system with the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK).
