Q. What are the differences between Zones, domains and Containers?

Posted by : Dr. Root | 05 January, 2006 | Published in

Domains are a type of Hardware Partitioning where the partitioning is done in the hardware.

Solaris Zones are part of the Solaris Containers technology and address the namespace isolation (separate IP addresses, users, root, ...).

Solaris Containers (and Zones) are a type of OS virtualization where the partitioning is not done in hardware but in the OS.
