Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation / Release Notes

Compute Cloud@Customer introduces new features in October 2025

Compute Cloud@Customer Isolated is available

As of October 2025, customers can obtain a subscription to Compute Cloud@Customer in an isolated mode.

In isolated mode, you deploy Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) services in locations with strict security and data residency regulations, disconnected from the internet, and disconnected from your OCI tenancy. You maintain absolute control over your data, and the management of the underlying infrastructure.

Some administrative processes differ between a Compute Cloud@Customer that's connected to OCI, and one that's isolated. For more information about isolated mode, see the Compute Cloud@Customer Isolated documentation.

IPv6 Support

Starting with this release, IPv6 addresses can optionally be added to both new and existing compute instances and network resources. IPv6 virtual network connectivity is currently only supported for compute instances with SR-IOV (single root I/O virtualization) VNICs.

See Configuring SR-IOV for Virtual Networking.
Transit Routing

A new network topology is supported in this release, where the on-premises network connects to a VCN on the Compute Cloud@Customer to reach resources beyond that VCN. Routing rules in this VCN are configured so that traffic transits through the VCN to its destination.

See Transit Routing Through a Hub VCN.

Kubernetes Engine Updates

The following new features are added for Kubernetes Engine (OKE):

  • NVIDIA GPU Plugin Cluster Add-on. This release offers the NVIDIA GPU Plugin add-on, which deploys the NVIDIA Kubernetes Device Plugin for GPU access by workloads.

  • Oracle Database Operator for Kubernetes Cluster Add-on. This release offers the Oracle Database Operator for Kubernetes add-on, which extends the Kubernetes API with custom resources and controllers for automating Oracle Database lifecycle management.

  • Custom CA Certificates for Node Pools. This release enables the use of a private a CA certificate or CA bundle to verify TLS connections to the container registry service.

  • Improved Logging and Diagnostics.
