Most interesting that they insist on Oracle Linux KVM
as VM!!

I've been looking at Oracle Linux. They are certainly very up to date
with their patches (at least so far) and there are arguments for using
Oracle Linux instead of one of the other rebuilds (Alma, Rocky) given
the size of the massive organisation behind it and the fact, as per
above, they are recommending it for use by some of their customers.

 I'd been kind of wondering about the Oracle/VSI relationship. My guess
is Oracle Cloud might be one of the most obvious places for Oracle Rdb
users to land eventually.

There is a strong price incentive for that.
If I have understood Oracle licensing correct then:
on-prem Oracle Linux KVM - you pay for the cores in the VM
Oracle cloud - you pay for the cores in the VM
on-prem all other OS and VM - you pay for the cores in the physical box
all other cloud vendors - you pay for the cores in the physical box
