All looks very interesting.

Am I right to assume then that there isn't going to be a SmartOS/SunOS 'docker' client which can understand zfs+zones / replace vmadm/zoneadm? I had planned on looking into writing this when they announced the 'new' pluggable architecture some while ago..

Because, that would freakin' rock...

My main use of Docker is for making application deployment less painful. I've heard of a few people who say they're running their prod DBs under docker but I cannot begin to imagine how fucktarded you'd need to be to do this (unless they have some requirement to spin up lots and lots of short-lived dbs, and those dbs have very, very low storage performance requirements...)

Would you do that? Why?

This looks interesting, I'm still holding my breath to see if Joyent are going to bring zfs support to docker though. It looks like they're working on reviving lx branded zones instead which is a bit of a bummer as they are (or were) pretty terrible.

FTR - aboutthebsds.wordpress.com is a well known troll site and nothing on there should be taken seriously..
