Oracle OpenWorld 2013

Excited to attend Oracle OpenWorld 2013 !
I attended in 2012 as well and was overwhelmed with the technical presentations over the 5 days I attended.
Some details at OpenWorld
Over 2500 technical sessions, it’s difficult at times to pick out which discussions to attend given the large number of presentation topics. You end up running out of “day” before you run out of sessions.
Hands on labs, hundreds of Oracle partners, all concentrated in one place.
Take a peek at the link posted above….. it is quite a valuable series of presentations.
It will be a busy September, I attend the Oracle University Partner Summit in New Orleans prior to OpenWorld, get a day and a half at home, then out to San Francisco for OpenWorld. I’ll be immersed in Oracle for two weeks straight.
I’ll share my thoughts during both events here.
Linux Containers (LXC)

At First Customer Ship of Solaris 10, a technology known as Non-Global Zones (NGZ) / Containers were introduced into the Sun Microsystems realm. Given Oracle Corporations acquisition of Sun Microsystems, they became the “parent” of this technology as it relates to Solaris.
The technology allowed one to configure a “jail-cell” type environment where the root file system of the NGZ was chrooted in a fashion that prevented it access to the root file system of the Global Zone. The Global Zone was created when Solaris was installed.
This Technology is now being addressed/added to Linux Operating Systems.
