Delivery promised some time in 2018, as Big Red says Solaris updates prove it can do continuous integration<\/b>
\nMuch of the world tunes out between Christmas and New Year, and The Register shuts down. But Oracle decided that was the perfect time to reveal a little more about the future of its Solaris operating system.
The guts of its twin holiday season posts on the OS were that it plans to give the world Solaris 11.4 some time in 2018, and that the promised continuous delivery of new features announced as it canned version 12 of the OS have already begun.
Both posts put a very positive spin on things that may not be entirely justifiable.
The post on the next version of Solaris revealed it will be called \u201cSolaris 11.4\u201d instead of \u201cSolaris.next\u201d will emerge \u201c In the first half of 2018\u201d. That\u2019s in line with last year\u2019s admision the release would be delayed and Oracle\u2019s roadmaps that suggest deployment may not be an option until 2019.
But the post also revealed that the feature set of update is not settled: the post instead offered \u201ca short list of just a few of the new capabilities that might be coming in Oracle Solaris 11.4.\u201d Which suggests a debut late in 2018\u2019s first half rather than any time soon.
The features under consideration are:
The post on Solaris already having adopted continuous delivery also deserves close reading as it noted that Big Red has achieved its DevOps-y update plans using its existing \u201cSupport Repository Updates (SRUs)\u201d. Those updates, as this Oracle note from 2012 records, are monthly and \u201cprimarily deliver bug fixes. They may also deliver low risk feature enhancements.\u201d We\u2019ll leave it to readers to decide if the long list of changes to Solaris made during 2017 constitute business as usual for the OS or evidence of new continuous delivery capabilities. We asked Oracle if it\u2019s a significant change but haven\u2019t heard back at the time of writing. \u00ae
