SUN releases "BrandZ"

SUN releases BrandZ under OpenSolaris Community. BrandZ is the evolution of the Solaris Containers.

From the BrandZ homepage:

BrandZ is a framework that extends the Solaris Zones infrastructure to create Branded Zones, which are zones that contain non-native operating environments. The term "non-native" is intentionally vague, as the infrastructure allows for the creation of a wide range of operating environments.


The lx brand enables Linux binary applications to run unmodified on Solaris, within zones running a complete Linux userspace. The combination of BrandZ and the lx brand will be productized as Solaris Containers for Linux Applications.


I should try this new technology ;)
