About Resources in Zones

A zone that includes resource management features is called a container. Resources that can be controlled in a container include the following:

• Resource pools or assigned CPUs, which are used for partitioning machine resources.

• Resource controls, which provide a mechanism for the constraint of system resources.

• Scheduling class, which enables you to control the allocation of available CPU resources among zones through relative shares. You can express the importance of the workloads in a given zone through the number of shares of CPU resources that you assign to that zone.
