The OpenSolaris Track will cover sessions in the following areas:
| What is OpenSolaris and Why Should You Care? |
Top |
An introduction to both OpenSolaris for those that are new and a link to "traditional" Solaris for those that are familiar with Solaris 10, 9, 8 etc... Introduce those that are new to OpenSolaris and may well be familiar with ubuntu, redhat etc. and why OpenSolaris is worth looking at and using for them and how its the logical evolution of an Open Source operating system. For those that are familiar with early versions of Solaris explain the link back to those as well as SX, SXCE, SXDE and why for them its also an evolution they should feel comfortable and familiar but at the same time excited by. This session provides an overview of the technologies that make up OpenSolaris, some new, some familiar. Overview the install, distribution and release model including package repositories, highlighting the new installer and the worlds first ZFS default fs OS, compiz, developer tools, web 2.0 optimized deployment packages, the Image Packaging System (IPS) and repositories. Concluding with the support offerings, what is different between Solaris and OpenSolaris, reiterating the messages delivered previously and a call to action.

| Developing Parallel Applications on OpenSolaris and Linux |
Top |
With the latest multi-core systems, the age of hardware parallelism is here today. Are your applications ready? Creating native language applications that take advantage of this parallelism has increased complexity for software developers. Multi-threaded development, debugging, and profiling as well as common multithreaded issues, such as data race and deadlock conditions, provide challenges in software quality and developer productivity. Learn how Sun Studio compilers and tools can simplify these challenges and allow you to fully unlock the potential in multicore architecture.
Demo:
- Autopar feature, OpenMP, MCFX and the Thread Analyzer
| Virtualization from the Desktop to the Enterprise |
Top |
Virtualization technologies enable host and service consolidation. They provide a flexible environment which increases CPU utilization, improves availability, reduces server sprawl, and saves on the costs associated with administration, power consumption, floor space, etc. Virtualization is also a powerful tool for simulation, testing, and to isolate the OS from the underlying hardware.
OpenSolaris embraces virtualization through various technologies such as a Xen, Zones, Logical Domains (LDOMs), and VirtualBox. This session will show you how these various virtualization technologies compare and constrast, and how they can be deployed with OpenSolaris. We will also show how other unique OpenSolaris features like BrandZ and Crossbow are be combined with these technologies to make OpenSolaris the best platform for virtualization.
| Developing and Deploying Securely |
Top |
OpenSolaris contains a number of security features available to developers and system integraters that truly distinguish it from other operating systems. This talk contains two parts. The main part presents two or three important problem areas and teaches how the OpenSolaris features solve these problems. We give two examples in the following paragraphs below. The second, much shorter part, presents current, ongoing opensource OpenSolaris security projects to attract new community members and to capture the imagination of students looking for research and development opportunities in the field of computer and network security. While the contents of this second part are expected to change over time, current projects to highlight would be, e.g, FMAC (Flexible Mandatory Access Control in the context of Solaris Trusted Extensions), FGAP (Fine-Grained Access Policy), Crypto ZFS, and Validated Execution.
OpenSolaris provides two alternatives to the traditional, all-or-nothing superuser-based UNIX authorization model: privileges and RBAC (Role-based Access Control.) With the former, OpenSolaris separates traditional superuser powers across a number of individual privileges for fine-grained control over the actions of processes. This technology is used to implement software according to the principle of least privilege, enabling applications to be protected from each other and to provide software fault isolation. RBAC is a mechanism designed to selectively grant privileges to users or roles based upon their unique needs and requirements. This talk presents how to write/modify, debug, configure, and deploy privilege-aware and RBAC-aware applications and server software.
Secondly, the Solaris cryptographic and key management frameworks transparently make software and hardware crypto providers available to application programs and kernel software alike. Cryptographic protections and certificate management are integral parts to writing applications that need to communicate securely, a very common use case. This talk will explain the capabilities of these frameworks. It presents just how simple it is to transparently take advantage of hardware-based crypto acceleration (e.g., from the Niagara T2 chip sets) even from Java applications that utilize the Java Cryptographic Extensions.
