Based on my extremely limited knowledge around Oracle Linux, it sounds
like that might be a go-to solution for Centos refugees.

But is it, really?


KVM is a subscription feature. They want you to run Oracle VM Server for
x86 (which is based on Xen) so they can try to upsell you to use the Oracle
Cloud. There's other things, but that stood out immediately.

Oracle Linux FAQ (PDF):

There is no subscription needed. All needed repositories for the oVirt
based virtualization are freely available.
