name: Standard flexible virtual machines; category: virtual_machine; cpu isolation: guaranteed; description: General-purpose Intel, AMD and Ampere Arm flexible VM shapes. Ordinary flexible VMs run on non-oversubscribed hosts and guarantee access to their configured OCPUs; exact processor generation and shape availability vary by region., name: Burstable virtual machines; category: burstable_virtual_machine; cpu isolation: shared; description: Eligible Standard flexible shapes can use a 12.5% or 50% baseline. Their physical hosts are oversubscribed and bursting up to the configured OCPU count is not guaranteed., name: Dense I/O virtual machines; category: dense_io_virtual_machine; cpu isolation: guaranteed; description: Compute shapes combining guaranteed OCPUs with locally attached NVMe storage for high-throughput databases and data-processing workloads., name: GPU virtual machines; category: gpu_virtual_machine; cpu isolation: guaranteed; description: Virtual-machine GPU shapes for AI, visualization and accelerated computing; accelerator and region availability vary by shape., name: HPC and optimized virtual machines; category: hpc_virtual_machine; cpu isolation: guaranteed; description: Compute-optimized and HPC VM shapes with high-frequency CPUs and high-performance cluster networking for latency-sensitive workloads., name: Confidential virtual machines; category: confidential_virtual_machine; cpu isolation: guaranteed; description: Eligible AMD flexible VM shapes can protect data in use with hardware memory encryption; generation and region support vary., name: Dedicated virtual machine hosts; category: dedicated_virtual_machine_host; cpu isolation: dedicated; description: A physical server dedicated to one tenancy on which supported VM shapes can be placed for isolation and licensing requirements.

Operating systems

Oracle Autonomous Linux 7, 8 and 9, Oracle Linux 7, 8, 9 and 10, Oracle Linux Cloud Developer 8, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, 22.04 LTS and 24.04 LTS, including supported Arm variants, Windows Server 2016, 2019, 2022 and 2025 on supported x86 shapes, partner and community images from Oracle Cloud Marketplace, custom Linux images imported as QCOW2 or VMDK through Object Storage, Console, CLI or API

Virtualization

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure managed hypervisor platform based on Oracle Linux KVM

CPU isolation

Regular flexible VMs run on physical hosts that are not oversubscribed and guarantee access to all configured OCPUs, Burstable VMs share oversubscribed hosts; baseline CPU is available while bursts up to the configured OCPUs are not guaranteed, Dedicated VM hosts reserve a physical host for one tenancy
