Project Mayhem: Security in Managed Operations. Controlled Anarchy

I had the pleasure of sitting in on a talk by Glenn Brunette regarding Immutable Service Containers (ISC).

First, I believe the Sun Systemic Security framework is proof that Sun is committed to a secure computing infrastructure.  We are using the principals of self-preservation, defense in depth, least privilege, compartmentalization and proportionality as building blocks for our products. It's one thing to use security methodology in deploying a product, but that is made easier and better when that methodology is built into the product.

Anyone with an interest in security should have a look: http://wikis.sun.com/display/ISC/Home;jsessionid=79DE09EA34FB1AD0CE775999E0C39B9D

I have customers that are already using ISC in their environments to create an extremely secure, extremely flexible, easily expandable SAS infrastructure. Provisioning a new server take a matter of minutes. In the time it used to take to start a jumpstart client, I can have a new server up and running.

The best part? You can try it for free by downloading OpenSolaris! Sun...making the world a better place one datacenter at a time.
