Sun Virtualization: Solaris 10 Containers Administration (SA-355-S10)
The Solaris 10 Containers Administration course provides a practical, hands-on, guided experience working with Sun's virtualization capabilities, collectively known as Solaris Containers. Solaris Zones and Solaris Resource Controls combine to create Solaris Containers. In this course you gain the knowledge critical to properly implement and manage these important capabilities in the Solaris Operating System. The hands-on labs offered in this course involve accessing equipment that resides at a location other than where the training is delivered.
