BayLISA Meetup

Joyent and SmartOS

• Joyent is tackling the challenges of cloud computing: multi-tenancy/density, observability, storage and network virtualization

• Joyent believes that the solutions to these problems begin in the operating system — that the operating system matters more than ever

• We have our own illumos variant, SmartOS, that embodies that belief

A year of SmartOS

• A year ago, we made SmartOS available with the announcement of illumos-based KVM — on which we have since deployed tens of thousands of VMs

• Beyond adding KVM, we have also moved the system forward by extending the core illumos technologies: Zones, DTrace, ZFS

• While we want to run all application runtimes, we have a particular focus on making SmartOS the premier platform for deploying node.js apps

• In the past year, we have integrated node.js with SmartOS technologies, e.g. DTrace, mdb, libumem

The SmartOS community

• We have seen explosive interest in SmartOS: many tens of thousands of downloads (!) with a surprising number running it seriously in production (!!)

• The enthusiasm has come as a (pleasant!) surprise; we apologize that we havenʼt always had as much time as we would like to help the community

• We think office hours in #smartos (Thursdays, 10a to 11a Pacific) have been successful, but weʼre always welcome to new ideas for helping the community!

SmartOS community enthusiasm
