With the release of the October 2018 Solaris 10 Extended Support Recommended patch set, you can now run Solaris 10 in Oracle Cloud. I thought it would be good to document the main steps for getting an image you can run in OCI High level steps are Create a Solaris 10 image using Virtualbox and get it patched with the October 2018 patch set Unconfigure it and shut it down Upload it to the Oracle Cloud object storage Create a custom image from that object you've just uploaded...

One of the more subtle changes with Oracle Solaris 11.4 is the identity of the Operating System - namely the output of uname(1). Obviously we are not changing the release - this is still SunOS 5.11 which brings along the interface stability levels that Oracle Solaris has delivered for decades. However, in part based upon customer feedback, and in part internal requirements, the version level now displays finer grained information: $ uname -v 11.4.0.12.0 If we compare this to...

As 2017 comes to a close and we begin looking forward to 2018, I want to take a few moments to reflect on 2017 and look forward to the future. It's been quite a year for Oracle Solaris. In January, we announced a new development and delivery model. A new continuous delivery model was going to take the place of our "Big Bang" releases. Instead of a big release with far too many changes that caused our customers so many headaches with requirements to test and verify the new OS,...
