The release of OmniOS Community Edition r151056 has been published, based on the work done by the Illumos project, which continues the development of the kernel, network stack, file systems, drivers, libraries, and the core set of system utilities from OpenSolaris. OmniOS is notable for providing support for hypervisors bhyve and KVM, the virtual network stack Crossbow, the ZFS file system, and tools for launching lightweight Linux containers. The distribution can be used to build scalable web systems, virtualization, and storage systems.
