Joost Pronk van Hoogeveen: Domains are a type of hardware partitioning, so the partitioning is done at the hardware level. Solaris Zones are part of Solaris Containers technology. As such, Zones manage the namespace isolation (separate IP addresses and users, for example) for Containers. Containers and Zones are a type of operating system virtualization, where the partitioning is not done at the hardware level, but rather within the operating system itself.
