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...

It's been less than year since we announced availability of the Havana version of the OpenStack cloud infrastructure software as part of Solaris 11.2 and we've since continued to see what can only be described as a startling amount of momentum build in the OpenStack community. It's an incredibly exciting space for us, and for Oracle as a whole, as we watch the benefits of cloud based infrastructure and service management transform the way in which our customers run their...

Happy Friday and a happy holiday weekend to those of you in the US! It might be obvious, but the Oracle Linux and virtualization teams are heavily involved in open source. For quite some time, we’ve had a site that describes the open source projects the teams are involved in. This site was just updated with a new look and feel and additional content. My favorite part is a history section going by to 2001. Check it out: https://oss.oracle.com I’m also excited to highlight...
