Running Linux in Solaris 10 zones

Sun finally announced what they want to do with the “Janus” project. As a reminder, it lets Linux applications ( binaries ) run unmodified on a running Solaris machine.

Well, integration is a major Solaris 10 feature, which means that the Linux Environment can be used in a Solaris Container as well, aka a Zone.

What Sun is saying is that, if you are running some Linux machines and are afraid of migrating to Solaris because of application issues, well, there is now a way to limit the risk while still taking advantages of the brilliant features of Solaris 10.

It is even possible to debug Linux apps running on Solaris using DTrace !
