Pre-Built Developer VMs (for Oracle VM VirtualBox)

Learning your way around a new software stack is challenging enough without having to spend multiple cycles on the install process. Instead, we have packaged such stacks into pre-built Oracle VM VirtualBox appliances that you can download, install, and experience as a single unit. Just downloaded/assemble the files, import into VirtualBox (available for free), import, and go (but not for production use or redistribution)!

Some of these VMs are designed to support Developer Day workshops, and have specific hands on labs embedded in them, but they're available to all.) Be sure to install VirtualBox first.

Updated Oracle Linux Vagrant Boxes

Vagrant is a tool to manage virtual machine-based development environments. Vagrant Boxes are pre-built base images that can be imported into Vagrant as a starting point. Read more about Vagrant here. On Linux Yum Server website Oracle publishes Vagrant boxes based on latest Oracle Linux Releases.

Prerequisites for Oracle Linux Vagrant Boxes

You will need the following software installed on your machine. Check the minimum required versions in the Vagrant Box description.

Further Development VMs based on Vagrant/VirtualBox

On GitHub Oracle created an official Vagrant Project repository dedicated to Oracle Products running on top of Oracle Linux. Between them you can find ready-to-run VMs with Kubernetes, Oracle Database, Oracle APEX and more.
