I'm a little surprised that, according to the docs, "the Oxide rack does not come with any preloaded machine images" [1]. But I guess it makes sense that the initial, early-adopter customers wouldn't have a problem with rolling their own VM images. I'm at least glad that Oxide didn't decide to start by only allowing VMs that use a pre-defined set of pre-made images in some custom format.

The preloaded images would all be Solaris anyway. ;-)


We don't call it Solaris anymore! :P


Surely Illumos? Solaris is probably dead to most people involved, a husk of what it was and could have been.
