No, I didn't. I was comparing full virtualization to Jails. However, I realize now that there may not even have been a full virtualization solution available back then anyway, at least not for consumer hardware. I'll have to dig a bit on Wikipedia.
I've never used Solaris Containers / Zones, but my understanding is that the implementation was similar to FreeBSD Jails, so I have no reason to believe the performance was different.
- int_19h 5y agoVirtual PC and VMware did full virtualization on commodity hardware at the time (Macs and Windows PCs, respectively). But it was slow enough that it was mostly used for development and testing back then, and certainly not viable for any kind of routine sandboxing.
