The document discusses Solaris zones and containers, which are virtual operating system abstractions that enable applications to run in isolated environments within a single OS instance. It provides detailed commands for managing these zones and containers, including installation, configuration, and resource management features like fair share scheduling. Additionally, it emphasizes the benefits of using these technologies for testing and development purposes.

What is Solaris Zones?
ZONE: virtual operating system abstraction that provides a protected environment in which
applications run. The applications are protected from each other to provide software fault
isolation. To ease the labor of managing multiple applications and their environments, they
co-exist within one operating system instance, and are usually managed as one entity.

CONTAINER: zone which also uses the operating system's resource management facility is
then called a container. Many people use the two words 'zone' and 'container'
interchangeably.
