Post-Surge 2014

illumos Day
Daniel L. McDonald - OmniOS Engineering
Let's Recap illumos
The open-source inheritor of what was OpenSolaris's OS/Net components.

ORACLE IS NOT INVOLVED WITH ILLUMOS AT ALL!!!!

What comes to mind when you think of Illumos?

ZFS

DTrace

Crossbow (network Virtualization)

Zones (sometimes known as Containers...)

Lightweight illumos instances

KVM zones

And people are using these features to Solve Problems.


Illumos has Distributions
The upstream illumos repository (illumos-gate) contains the kernel, (most)
system libraries, and (most) system commands.

What people use when they use illumos is a distribution.

OmniOS (stripped down for traditional servers w/support)

SmartOS (hypervisor-focussed for clouds w/support)

OpenIndiana (desktop and inheritor of OpenSolaris)

NexentaStor (storage appliance w/support)

Delphix (database appliance - commercial)

There are more (DilOS, OpenSXCE, etc.)


How to Contribute
Start using your favorite distribution(s).

Illumos repositories are on github.

Get peer review ("code review").

Submit to Illumos RTI Advocates, who will then


integrate your bits.

Distro-specific bits (e.g. omnios-build) may have


different procedures.
