Oracle on Monday announced Oracle Autonomous Linux, an autonomous operating system. Autonomous Linux provisions itself, scales itself, tunes itself and patches itself while running.

Autonomous Linux is based on Oracle Linux, which powers Oracle Cloud and Oracle Engineered Systems.
Any Red Hat application will run unchanged on Oracle Autonomous Linux, Ellison promised. At the same time, he asserted that Oracle Autonomous Linux is designed for "extreme performance, for high reliability, for security... and we're autonomous."

The new OS offers automatic security updates daily to the Linux kernel and key user space libraries, with no downtime. Known Exploit Detection provides automated alerts if anyone attempts to exploit a vulnerability that has been patched by Oracle.
In his keynote address, Ellison stressed how autonomy can deliver more secure services.

"One simple rule to prevent data theft: Put your data in an autonomous system," Ellison said Monday. "No human error, no data loss. That's the big difference between us and AWS."
