Secure End to End Provisioning

• Total security assurance– Data confidentiality– Installation image integrity

• Modern network and encryption protocols– Protect the complete system software lifecycle

Authenticated and encrypted deployment with Automated Installer


Oracle Solaris 11 Packaging• Image Packaging System– Repository based distribution over the

network– Safe system upgrade– Automatic dependencies– Integrated patch management– Integrated updates of Oracle Solaris Zones– Understands system firmware

Safe System Updates• Boot Environments– Based on ZFS snapshots and clones– Enforces best practices for system update– Fast to create, zero cost – 100% reliable– Kernel changes automatically create new

boot environments– Helps to reduce planned and unplanned

system downtime– Can also be used for any administrative

change!


Failsafe Software Updates

• Seamless installation and update– Single step– Automatically enforces dependencies– Instant rollback with ZFS

• Always have correct firmware• Virtually eliminates operator error– Less complexity – 16X higher productivity– Higher uptime for your enterprise cloud

Other vendor approach:Different tools, different patches, possible conflicts and downtimes.

Oracle approach:Secure, pre-tested, single-source patching.

1 Step Unified Update


Firmware Dependencies• Deliver firmware as part of driver software– Firmware automatically updated during driver

attach or system reboot– Used for new drivers

• Add firmware dependency into IPS– Package declares minimal version of firmware– Update prevented if incompatible and administrator

must manually update firmware first– Used for legacy drivers


Application Dependency Packages• Fast installation of Oracle software not

currently packaged in IPS– Ensure all dependent packages to ensure successful

graphical installation–Oracle Database 12c prerequisites package:

oracle-rdms-server-12-1-preinstall


Unified Archives• Integrated archive creation and deployment– Bare metal, Oracle Solaris Zones, LDOMs

• Disaster recovery solution

• Foundation for image management anddeployment at scale with cloning–Cloud environments–Application templates

• Based on Open Virtualization Format (OVF)


Rapid Application Deployment

• Agile Applications– Fast archive creation, instant

deployment – from dev toproduction

• 2X Faster Provisioning

Total Archive Portability

• Archive Flexibility– Fast system archive creation– Deploy across physical and

virtual boundaries

Unified Archive Creation• Simplified administration with archiveadm(1M)• OVA with multi-system definitions–OVF descriptor and manifest–ZFS send/receive streams

• Disconnected system support–Bootable ISO images (< 4Gb) or USB images


Unified Archive Deployment• Automated Installer– Bare metal (including LDOMs) and Oracle Solaris Zones– XML manifest description

• Oracle Solaris Zones–Native Zones and Kernel Zones–Use existing zonecfg(1M) and zoneadm(1M) utilities

• Transforms available– Physical-to-virtual or virtual-to-physical–Different systems within same architecture

What is Puppet?• Open source automation software – Defines and enforces the state of your infrastructure– Ensures consistency and dependability–Optimized for complete software lifecycle

• Scales to cloud environments–Uses master/agent architecture– Easily extensible through reusable modules

• Puppet integrated in Oracle Solaris 11.2


How Does it Work?

IPS Server

Puppet MasterClient connects toPuppet master –

sends normalized dataabout itself using Facts

Client configures itselfbased on catalog and

reports back to master1

Client installs Puppetagent software from repository

Lifecycle Management – Putting it All Together• Simplify your Infrastructure– Automated Installer, IPS, Boot Environments and SMF provide building blocks– Repeatable, secure, consistent, extendible and safe

• Deploy at Scale– Unified Archives provide golden images– Easy to create and re-deploy in the cloud with OpenStack

• Orchestrate your applications– Puppet ensures post-installation configuration at cloud scale
