difference between zones and containers

Hi Expects,

Can broadly explain difference between Zones and containers.

They are basically the same thing. Strictly speaking, Containers are zones plus resource management.

resource management means?

The ability to control (reserve or limit) resource usage for processes, tasks and zones. Resources can be CPU, RAM, virtual memory, and various other kernel level tables and other stuff.

This is a fairly good overview: Solaris Containers - Wikipedia
