New SmartOS: Ready to Serve as Next VM or Container Host
https://www.tritondatacenter.com/smartos isn’t nearly as well known as some of the other UNIX or Linux-like operating systems built for virtual machines and containers. SmartOS was designed, from the ground up, to be ideal for cloud native and virtual use cases.
SmartOS supports two different types of virtualization: OS VMs (aka Zones) are virtualized instances of SmartOS that behave like isolated systems.
Given that each container zone or virtual machine exists on an isolated file system, it offers security that few other operating systems can touch. And because it uses the ZFS file system, container zones and virtual machines can be snapshotted, rolled back, and even sent to remote hosts.
