On behalf of the whole AIX team, I am excited to announce that the AIX 7.3 Open Beta is now LIVE!
The free AIX 7.3 Open Beta provides an early view of the new AIX 7.3 release that will be available later this year. The Open Beta is open to anyone that would like to participate, with multiple options for getting access to the early release.
Take advantage of
$1500 in PowerVS credits
to install off-prem via IBM Power Virtual Server
Install
the early code on your own Power8 or later server
Software Vendors that need access to a server can get special access thru the IBM Technology Zone
This is a unique opportunity to test out AIX 7.3 ahead of its release !
Participants will be able to take advantage of some of the new features and enhancements, including:
Increased file and filesystem sizes
Python and Bash frameworks running directly with AIX
dnf command for installation of open source packages from the AIX Toolbox
Reduced time to dynamically add processors/memory to a running LPAR
Reduced IPL times for multi-terabyte memory LPARs
pigz and zlibNX commands now transparently use NX GZIP acceleration on Power9 and Power10
enhanced support for logical volume (LV) encryption to include rootvg and dump device
tcp protocol stack supports CUBIC
additional IP Security (IPsec) enhancements
create an OVA file from a mksysb using create_ova command
create ISO image from mksysb_iso command
Integration with new IBM Open XL C/C++ and Fortran for AIX 17.1 compilers
There's still time to join the program! Sign up here for more information:
