Oracle Linux 7 includes systemd, the new system and service manager that replaces the Upstart init daemon. While providing backward compatibility for legacy Oracle Linux 6 service scripts. systemd offers the following benefits over init: Services are started in parallel wherever possible using socket-based activation and D-Bus. Daemons can be started on demand. Processes are tracked using control groups (cgroups). Snapshotting of the system state and restoration of the system...

It's always interesting to see how technologies get tied together in the industry. Orgad Kimchi from the Oracle Solaris ISV engineering group has blogged about the combination of OpenStack and Hadoop. Hadoop is an open source project run by the Apache Foundation that provided distributed storage and compute for large data sets - in essence, the very heart of big data. In this technical How To, Orgad shows how to set up a multi-node Hadoop cluster using OpenStack by creating a...

Girish blogged previously on the work that we've been doing to support new features with the Solaris integrations into the Neutron OpenStack networking project. One of these features provides a flat network topology, allowing administrators to be able to plumb VMs created through an OpenStack environment directly into an existing network infrastructure. This essentially gives administrators a choice between a more secure, dynamic network using either VLAN or VXLAN and a pool...

Happy Friday! We have a brand new digital white board video for you this week on why virtualization drives the cloud. The host is Oracle VM Product Management Director John Priest, and while the video is focused on Oracle VM, it has some great general purpose information in it, too. It would be interesting to folks interested in Oracle VM, Oracle Linux, and just cloud infrastructure in general. Click here or the thumbnail below to head over to Oracle Media Network to give it...

Internally we've set up an OpenStack cloud environment for the developers of Solaris as a self-service Infrastructure as a Service solution. We've been running a similar service for years called LRT, or Lab Reservation Tool, that allows developers to book time on systems in our lab. Dave Miner has blogged previously about this work to set up the OpenStack cloud, initially based on Havana:Building an OpenStack Cloud for Solaris Engineering, Part 1Building an OpenStack Cloud...

Happy Friday! I know a lot of folks use Oracle VM VirtualBox to run Oracle Linux VMs. I do this myself every day. The ability to run multiple machines with different operating systems on a laptop is incredibly helpful. For example, you can do Docker development in Oracle Linux on your Macbook. Or if you're running Linux as your main OS, you could have a Windows VM, maybe for some pesky corporate apps that won't run on Linux. The possibilities are just endless. Oracle VM...

Upgrading from Havana to Juno - Under the CoversUpgrade from one OpenStack release to the next is a daunting task. Experienced OpenStack operators usually only do so reluctantly. After all, it took days (for some - weeks) to get OpenStack to stand up correctly in the first place and now they want to upgrade it? At the last OpenStack Summit in Vancouver, it wasn't uncommon to hear about companies with large clouds still running Havana. Moving forward to Icehouse, Juno or...
