I would agree. Virtualization covers a spectrum, and within what we
have and are working on, it goes from dynamic system domains with
physical separation of OS instances to Solaris Resource Manager, which
limits resource consumption within a single instance of Solaris and
does not do any other type of isolation. In between are Solaris
Container's zones, with process and name-space isolation, and LDoms,
Xen, and VMware.
So the product the URL referred to can manage some of that.
I use the terms container and zones interchangably, and in context
that is understood.
The term Container was not coined until late in Solaris 9's life, as
zones technology was starting to become publicly talked about and
used. It still can be confusing. Not that this is the only case :) [1]

Systems, [IBM] WebSphere, etc. when referring to a specific service
such as web/http, app server, portal, firewall, etc.

Irlando,
I guess you are confusing the term *"container"* for *"zone"*. Am I
right or Wrong ?
Containers are resources that used to exist before Zones came into
picture in Solaris10.
*Containers are "Projects/Tasks"* that are defined under either
framework, * Global or Local Zones.*
The evolution of SRM (Solaris Resource Manager) started in 2.6 and had
Containers evolution support in 8 and 9.
In Solaris10, another isolated level from the Global Zone, was the birth
of Local Zones, supporting Projects at their level too.
Accordingly, it won't be fair to relate *Solaris8 *to be virtualized
within a *Solaris10 Zone*. It won't make sense to mix both releases.
That is my belief. Any thoughts to the discussion ?
cheers

IHAC with the following question after I aswered NO to his original
question because all zones share a common kernel,(solaris 10); than he
reply with following:
does Sun provides or promotes/supports (from another vendor) any method
of virtualization for Solaris8?
How about this

Thanks in advance for your time and help
