Solaris

Solaris Working Group

The Solaris Working Group collaborates on Solaris and Solaris-related technologies (incl. Illumos, Nexenta, OmniOSce, OpenIndiana, SmartOS, ZFS) in Ansible.

News

• Solaris works out of the box with most of the standard Unix modules.
• We formed a Working Group to improve the Solaris-specific support in Ansible.
• We have a Solaris pinboard, subscribe to it to stay informed!
• There is no automated testing infrastructure for Solaris yet, individual testing by contributors/users is critical. This is why we need integration tests for every Solaris module.
