Solaris Zones |
|
"Zones provide a new isolation primitive for Solaris, which is secure, flexible, scalable and lightweight: virtualized OS services which look like different Solaris instances. Together with the existing Solaris Resource management framework, Solaris Zones forms the basis of N1 Grid Containers."
"Solaris 10 will have "zones" which are similar to jails, plus will have a "container" setup where you have a zone located inside a container, and can configure RAM usage, CPU, number of simultaneous processes that can be run, etc. for each zone. If a zone takes up more than the configured amount of RAM, it will have its least active pages swapped out.
Rebooting a zone will take a few seconds. You will be able to have up to 8191 zones per machine."
