Solaris Zones were great, but AWS Nitro is better.

It’s also proprietary, runs only on AWS and costs more than zones since AWS is the most expensive.

How does AWS Nitro help solve the hard resource preallocation problem?

What about CPU bursting capability of the mighty illumos kernel, how does AWS Nitro compare?

Can you beat zones on pricing (in terms of resources required) with AWS Nitro?
