What is illumos?

illumos is a Unix operating system which provides next-generation features for downstream distributions, including advanced system debugging, next generation filesystem, networking, and virtualization options.

illumos is developed by both volunteers and companies building products on top of the software.

illumos is an excellent base for both traditional and cloud-native deployments.

Getting Started

The OmniOS, OpenIndiana, and Tribblix distributions are a good place for new users to get started. You can install in a virtual machine or on bare metal.
