One of the fun projects that I’ve worked on this year is co-writing a new Oracle Solaris 11 Administration Handbook with Harry Foxwell. I’m pleased to say that project has completed and the book is now available to buy at McGraw-Hill, Amazon, and on the shelves at the Oracle OpenWorld bookstore!
The book itself focused on Oracle Solaris 11.2 since it was the current release at the time, but is more than equally appropriate for Oracle Solaris 11.3 as well. I helped to write Chapter 3 on Lifecycle Management, Chapter 9 on Configuration Management, Chapter 10 Cloud and OpenStack, and content for a couple of other sections as well. The book also has an invaluable cheat sheet reference thanks to Joerg Moellenkamp. All in all, a very fun project to contribute to that I’m thankful for and nice to have a book to my name after years of writing about Oracle Solaris on the Oracle Technology Network.
