Alas poor Sun, I knew him well Horatio
Sensible move by RH. Lets hope their hell desk support improves if my bitter experience is any guide so that the buyers will put hands in wallets instead of roll their own or buy Solaris.. Also shows Sun had an excellent concept and IMHO, a good implementation of containers. ZFS helped, but BTRFS seems a likely equivalent for Linux. Now lets see a resource and power use comparison after scaling for different chippery between AIX virtualisation, SPARC Solaris, X64 Solaris and linux distro of choice using containers for 1000 Apache instances serving 5000 static web pages each. Compare with VMs doing same. Or is this futile as ARM stuff beating everyone on efficient power use. Yes, Intel have some excellent power efficiencies coming, but is it being marketed in servers yet ?
