With this month's release of Oracle Solaris 11.4.21, we're making it easy for Solaris users of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to build custom images for use in your tenancies by releasing the tooling we have used to build the Solaris 11.4 images that are available in the Oracle Cloud Marketplace. We build these images using the Solaris Distribution Constructor tool, distro_const(8), which we use to build all of the Solaris 11 media images for distribution. Some of you...

One of the things I like to do on a somewhat regular basis is point out interesting upcoming customer events or interesting blogs. The first link is to a blog by Joerg Moellenkamp about a series of Business Breakfast events (5 in total) he's helping to organize together with Marcel Hofstetter from Jomasoft. They'll be talking about Oracle Solaris 11.4, the Jomasoft VDCF tool, and the Oracle Private Cloud Appliance. These are events local to Germany and presumably will be held...

Following on to last week's release of Oracle Solaris 11.4 SRU 14, we've updated the Solaris listing in the Orace Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Marketplace to make pre-built 11.4 SRU 14 images available, in addition to the Solaris 11.4 GA images previously available. This will make it easier than ever to use the latest Solaris version in OCI! With this update we've also taken the opportunity to re-organize our listing a bit. Rather than the separate virtual machine and bare...
