It is just the unfortunate formatting that makes it difficult to notice Smilie

What makes you think using zones in a virtual environment doesn't make any sense in a non learning context ?

virtualisation inside virtualisation...?

Your point would have been valid with similar virtualization technologies but VMs and zones are quite different.

In almost all use cases, I would recommend using two zones in a single guest Solaris VM vs two guest Solaris VMs. That would be a more efficient usage of resources and have several other advantages.

Of course, if the physical host is already running Solaris, I would probably not recommend running VMs at all but simply zones so my opinion is only relevant if the hardware is running another OS than Solaris.

And ?
Oracle made big mistake when he decided to leave old school SystemV packaging and started with IPS. I don't know too much about IPS but mr. Larry says IPS and Jumpstart will work with zones.
Solaris is one of best OS today available and some corporations will continue to use no matter how much costs, for me Illumos project is the future Smilie

I don't get what makes you think it is a big mistake but in any case, Sun decided to move from its old packaging/patching system to IPS long before being acquired by Oracle.
