Happy Friday! You might have seen Ronen Kofman’s announcement earlier in the week regarding the technology preview of OpenStack Icehouse with Oracle Linux and Oracle VM. There are some great things going on with OpenStack, and if you want to give it a try yourself, this white paper (updated for the Icehouse technology preview) can help you get started: Getting Started with Oracle VM, Oracle Linux and OpenStack See you next week! -Chris

The next OpenStack summit is soon approaching, hosted in Paris Nov 3-7. With a six month cadence, it's an opportunity for developers, users and operators to get together and talk all things OpenStack and plan for the next release of OpenStack (codenamed 'Kilo'). The Oracle Solaris OpenStack team will be there in attendance again, so please find us out if you have any questions. Eric and I have also submitted a session for the summit called "Making OpenStack Safe for Pets" -...

On May we announced the technology preview of the OpenStack Havana release with Oracle Linux and Oracle VM, today we are releasing the technology preview of the Icehouse release. This release is a fast and easy way to deploy OpenStack giving customers an excellent starting point to deploy Icehouse and test it in their environment. We made sure that the deployment process remains the same as it was for Havana using few simple steps so anyone ,even with no prior experience with...

The Oracle Solaris implementationof OpenStack Neutron supports the following deployment model: provider routerwith private networks deployment. You can find more information about thismodel here.In this deployment model, each tenant can have one or more private networks andall the tenant networks share the same router. This router is created, owned,and managed by the data center administrator. The router itself will not bevisible in the tenant's network topology view. Because...

As Eric has already mentioned with Oracle Solaris 11.2 we've included a complete, enterprise-ready distribution of OpenStack based on the "Havana" release of the upstream project. We've talked to many customers who have expressed an interest in OpenStack generally, but also being able to have Oracle Solaris participate in a heterogeneous mix of technologies that you'd typically see in a data center environment. We're absolutely thrilled to be providing this functionality to...

Solaris 11 brought us the ability to have Immutable non global Zones. With Solaris 11.2 we have extended that capability so that it works with Kernel Zones, LDOMs (OVM SPARC) and bare metal global zones. Now what about deploying Immutable Zones via OpenStack ? The way to do this is to via the Flavors facility in Nova. From the OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon) navigate to the Admin-> Flavor page. We can either update an existing one of the Solaris flavours or create a new one. ...

In an OpenStack deployment the VMs is provided by the Cinder service. In the case of a Solaris instance these VMs are either Kernel Zones or non global zones configured for ZOSS (Zones On Shared Storage). When Solaris 11.1 came out I wrote about using ZFS to encrypt zones. The Cinder volume service for OpenStack can be provided by ZFS using ZVOLs. So it shouldn't be surprising that we get to benefit from ZFS features such as compression, encryption and deduplication. When...
