Operating Systems Solaris solaris zones vs container.. Post 302546938 by bitlord on Friday 12th of August 2011 02:20:29 PM

Hi man I'm a Solaris Admin so this is my experience.

In Solaris Zones and Containers are almost the same thing. In Solaris 8 and 9 Zones where called containers. In Solaris 10 and later the term zone was used instead. Zones are a form of visualization & isolation. Best practice is to set up a Host called a Global Zone. The global zone then hosts one or more "Full Root", "Sparse Root" or "Branded" zones.
-Full root is a full Solaris install without any shared files.
-A sparse zone has 4 directory's that it shares with the global zone.
-Banded zones are zone that may not share anything with the global. A branded zone might be a Solaris 9 hosted on Solaris 10, or it can also be a Linux distro hosted on the global zone.

I hope this helps
