- kuwze 8y agoI did not know that, I thought lxc was behind zones in terms of features/flexibility.
- elcritch 8y agoFrom what I understand, Linux let’s you configure independent namespaces for network, disk, CPI, etc separately. Though sure entirely what lxc allows you to configure. Whereas zones have a more one-to-one mapping of namespaces so it’s easier to secure. Just what I picked up from using Joynet’s Triton system. I really enjoyed the zones interface on smartos, decent JSON api and cli tools, built from the ground up on ZFS datasets. Jails are terrible in comparison by not really having a good standard api interface, imho.
