Pro OpenSolaris (Paperback)

OpenSolaris is a rapidly evolving operating system with roots in Solaris 10, suitable for deployment on laptops, desktop workstations, storage appliances, and data center servers from the smallest single–purpose systems to the largest enterprise–class systems. The growing OpenSolaris community now has hundreds of thousands of participants and users in government agencies, commercial businesses, and universities, with more than 100 user groups around the world contributing to the use and advancement of OpenSolaris. New releases of OpenSolaris become available every six months, with contributions from both Sun engineers and OpenSolaris community members; this book covers the OpenSolaris 2008.11 release.

Pro OpenSolaris was written to demonstrate that you can host your open source applications and solutions on OpenSolaris, taking advantage of its advanced features such as containers and other forms of virtualization, the ZFS file system, and DTrace. It's assumed that you are already fairly knowledgeable about developing on Linux systems, so the authors give an overview of the similarities and differences between Linux and OpenSolaris, and then present details on how to use the Service Management Facility (SMF), ZFS, zones, and even a bit of DTrace. They also provide pointers to the many project communities associated with new OpenSolaris features. Special focus is given to web development using familiar applications such as Apache, Tomcat, and MySQL, along with the NetBeans IDE, and showing you how to exploit some of OpenSolaris's unique technologies.

What you’ll learn

• Discover the secrets of the ZFS, the most powerful file system ever conceived
• Explore OpenSolaris AMP (Apache, MySQL, PHP) and GlassFish in the context of Web 2.0 and Linux/Solaris, respectively
• Familiarize yourself with the new security administration features of OpenSolaris, including changes in DTrace

Who is this book for?

Linux system administrators and programmers who would like to know what they have missed since Solaris became an open source operating system.

OpenSolaris是一個快速發展的作業系統，其根源可以追溯到Solaris 10，適用於筆記型電腦、桌面工作站、儲存設備和數據中心伺服器，從最小的單用途系統到最大的企業級系統。不斷增長的OpenSolaris社群現在擁有數十萬的參與者和用戶，包括政府機構、商業企業和大學，全球有超過100個用戶群體為OpenSolaris的使用和發展做出貢獻。OpenSolaris每六個月推出新版本，由Sun工程師和OpenSolaris社群成員共同貢獻；本書介紹了OpenSolaris 2008.11版本。

《Pro OpenSolaris》旨在展示您可以在OpenSolaris上托管您的開源應用程序和解決方案，利用其先進的功能，如容器和其他形式的虛擬化、ZFS文件系統和DTrace。假設您已經對在Linux系統上進行開發有相當的了解，因此作者概述了Linux和OpenSolaris之間的相似之處和不同之處，然後詳細介紹了如何使用服務管理設施（SMF）、ZFS、區域和一些DTrace。他們還提供了指向與新的OpenSolaris功能相關的許多項目社群的指引。特別關注使用熟悉的應用程序（如Apache、Tomcat和MySQL）進行Web開發，以及使用NetBeans IDE，並展示如何利用OpenSolaris的一些獨特技術。

本書專注於以下內容：
- 發現ZFS的秘密，這是有史以來最強大的文件系統
- 在Web 2.0和Linux/Solaris的背景下，探索OpenSolaris AMP（Apache、MySQL、PHP）和GlassFish
- 熟悉OpenSolaris的新安全管理功能，包括DTrace的變化

本書適合Linux系統管理員和程式設計師，他們想知道自從Solaris成為開源作業系統以來錯過了什麼。
