Just as an aside, he completely downplays the benefits (particularly with licensed products) of the Solaris zones/containerisation, and the complete design differences.
please follow the link to the discussion on Zones vs. Containers ... https://blog.jessfraz.com/post/containers-zones-jails-vms/ "Sharing Namespaces ... You can have your application running in one container, then in a different container sharing a net namespace you can run wireshark and inspect the packets from the first container." holy sh*t! this is exactly what IMHO Zones were designed to prevent! Keeping my "cool head" on for a moment ... The fact that this was done by design means that the 2 things are not the same, and trying to say that converting from one to the other is a bit like saying that you can convert from Linux to Windows (or vice versa if we're being kind) Jon On 4 October 2017 at 08:28, Joshua M.
