Spotlight on Solaris
The Solaris
zones
facility is a major
step forward in the Solaris Operating Environment. It
allows virtualization of Operating System services so
that applications can run in an isolated and secure
environment. Previously, this functionality has only
been available on high-end, extremely expensive
servers. One of the advantages of zones is that
multiple versions of the same application can be run
on the same physical system, but independently of
each other. Solaris zones also protects the user from
having a single application able to exhaust the CPU or
memory resources when it encounters an error.
This article describes the concepts of Solaris
zones and the zone components as well as the types
of zone that can be configured.
