Monday April 03, 2006 Performance, Observability, DTrace and MDB
Solaris Internals, 2nd Edition is finally done!
At 5:30am this morning, Jim, I and Brendan Gregg submitted two completed books to the publisher. You may notice two easter eggs here; first there are now TWO books, and there is another primary author in the fold - Brendan Gregg.
The first of the two books is an update to Solaris Internals, for Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris. It covers Virtual Memory, File systems, Zones, Resource Management, Process Rights etc (all the good stuff in S10). This book is about 1100 pages.
The TOC for this book is here
The second book is aimed at Administrators to learn about performance and debugging. It's basically the book to read to understand and learn DTrace, MDB and the Solaris Performance tools, and a methodology for performance observability and debugging. This book is about 550 pages.
The TOC for this book is here
We need your help to name the two books. The current proposals are:
- Solaris Internals: Kernel Architecture for Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris
- Solaris Performance and Tools: Performance Measurement and Debugging with DTrace and MDB
We would very much like to hear your thoughts on what you feel would be great titles and subtitles for the books.
We welcome and look forward to your thoughts on the titles!
