These in person events talk about the entire Oracle portfolio, and many locations feature a dedicated session on Oracle Linux, Oracle...

Happy Friday! Thanks so much to everyone that stopped by our booth and went to our sessions at LinuxCon North America 2015! We had a great time and it was fantastic getting the opportunity to meet and speak with many of you in person. Some of the things that are top of mind for Linux users are (obviously!) the cloud impact on data center design, container technologies, OpenStack, security, and so on. So I looked through our archive to find a webcast that I think does a great...

We're looking forward to participating in the discussions, and we will have a sponsored session with Markus Flierl, VP of Solaris engineering (not currently posted on the schedule). We've made some pretty great progress in OpenStack over the past year across all of the software and hardware portfolios that I mentioned in my recent OpenStack Silicon Valley blog post. The IT...

Jim Kremer has written a new blog that shows you how to configure Swift to take advantage of an Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance. Jim walks step by step how to configure OpenStack Swift into a highly available cluster using an Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance as the backend storage over NFSv4. Jim summarizes the unique benefits that using a ZFS Storage Appliance brings to OpenStack environments over a typical Swift deployment: Swift data will be stored on a ZFS filesystem as a...

Many OpenStack development environments use sqlite as a backend to store data. However in a production environment MySQL is widely used. Oracle also recommends to use MySQL for its OpenStack services. For many of the OpenStack services (nova, cinder, neutron...) sqlite is the default backend. Oracle OpenStack for Oracle Solaris users may want to migrate their backend database from sqlite to MySQL. The general idea is to dump the sqlite database. Translate the dumped SQL...
