A Solaris Zone defines a virtualized operating system that provides an isolated, secure environment in which to run applications. This environment allows allocation of resources among applications and services, and ensures that processes do not affect other zones. Solaris manages each zone as one entity. A container is a zone that also uses the resource management of the operating system. The Solaris Zones PMM provides health monitoring, management, and provisioning of Solaris Zones environments.
Solaris Zones Container resources can be managed at three levels:
Solaris servers use zones to run applications in isolated environments to make it appear as if they are running on physically separate computers. Each zone on a server takes its resources from a resource pool and includes virtual network interfaces, file systems, memory, and other dedicated units.
A project is an application or set of applications that you want to divide into a separate workload entity. A zone allocates resources to a project separately from other resources or projects in the zone, according to workload and configuration settings.
Resource pools provide a persistent configuration mechanism for processor set configuration and scheduling class assignment. Resource pools can dynamically allocate resources to projects and tasks in a zone according to how they are configured.
