In case you're not already aware Oracle is hosting it's First Virtual Sysadmin Day on 1/15/13. It's a free event (registration is required). There are 3 separate tracks:
- Linux
- Solaris
- OVM
- Create and manage ZFS pools and filesystems, safely update and restore your system using Boot Environments
- Create and manage a virtualized Oracle Solaris environment using Oracle Solaris Zones and Network Virtualization
- Install Oracle Linux using RPM and yum repositories; create storage volumes, prepare block devices, work with filesystems
- Create and mount Btrfs in Oracle Linux, work with block devices and snapshots
- Plan and deploy a virtualized infrastructure environment with Oracle VM
- Virtualize and deploy enterprise applications in minutes using Oracle VM Templates
You'll be running the labs on your own machine using Virtualbox, so there is a little bit of pre-work to get prepared. Overall it seems like a very cool idea, and I'm interested to see how it works.
Here is a link to a Wiki with all the details: https://wikis.oracle.com/display/virtualsysadminday/Home
