> Edera Protect creates Zones to isolate processes from other Zones

What do you mean by "zone" exactly?

A zone is jargon for a virtual machine guest environment (an homage to Solaris Zones). Styrolite and Edera runs containers inside virtual machine guests for improved isolation and resource management.

How exactly is this an improvement over VMs?

We run unmodified containers in a VM guest environment, so you get the developer ergonomics of containers with the security and hardware controls of a VMM.

i asked specifically because the word "zones" reminded me of solaris zones :)
