Spotlight on Solaris Zones Feature
Overview A new and interesting feature in the Solaris 10 Operating System (which first appeared in Software Express for Solaris 6/04) is Solaris Containers technology, a way to virtualize system resources and use multiple software partitions with one instance of the OS. The Solaris Containers functionality comprises two main components, Solaris Zones partitioning technology and Resource Management tools. The Solaris Zones feature enables the administrator to create separate environments for running applications, while the Resource Management framework allows for the allocation, management, and accounting of system resources such as CPU and memory. Solaris Containers functionality is hardware independent and is available on any machine that will support the Solaris 10 OS.
