- Creating SmartOS datasets “Datasets are images that you can base your VMs on, for instance a dataset can contain a basic Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Server installation. Joyent provides a wide range of datasets that you can access via imgadm, if that’s not enough you can add the community dataset provider datasets.at for an even wider range. This is all good, but sometimes you need to customize or run OSes that aren’t free software. In my example I’ll create a dataset for Windows Server 2012.” – Marcus Wilhelmsson
- ZFS Write Performance (Impact of fragmentation) - “a benchmark we created to measure improvements in ZFS write performance as we make changes to the OS.” – Uday Vallamsetty
