They're SmartOS! They're on the Solaris codebase! They've had containers since 2005! Literally before it existed, it had containers!
- melloc 11y agolinc01n's comment was a little unclear. SmartOS isn't doing anything with the LXC protect. What SmartOS has done is revived the branded zones code from Sun for emulating Linux system calls. This means that you can run Docker containers on SmartOS as zones, as well as use dtrace, mdb and ptools on your Linux binaries. You can read up some more here: https://wiki.smartos.org/display/DOC/LX+Branded+Zones https://wiki.smartos.org/display/DOC/LX+Branded+Zones
