"More reliable than other competitors and ease of use"
What do you like best about Solaris Zones?

For system startup, each Zone is assigned one Resource Pool. After that, the assignment is referred to as "bind." A single Resource Pool can be assigned to many Zones. Each Zone, on the other hand, can only be linked to one Resource pool. It aids in the efficient use of server resources such as RAM, CPU, and memory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Solaris Zones?

It aids in the efficient use of server resources such as RAM, CPU, and memory. In addition, the available assistance tools are relatively limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
