zones actually have pretty small overhead in general. The creation of
an initial non-global zone can take a little time simply to install the
bits (a few minutes), but after that, you can clone that zone very
quickly, run your app, and destroy the clone as much as you want .

Hi All;
Just one point from my side. I started with linux and then switched to
Solaris. Because at that time Linux was easily available on x86. But
what made me switch to Solaris, is certification was available for
Solaris 8 only at that time, nearly 9 years back. Then I realized the

Yes, the application zone still needs the same files as a system zone, however,
the application zone will be created to run a process, and when the process is
finished it is destroyed. If you did a list of wpar's after the application
