08:39:43 <sjorge> and if someone wants to run propolis
08:40:24 <sjorge> one could theoretically make a brand for that on omnios
08:48:23 <elwisp> sjorge: can you explain what brand means?
08:49:16 <elwisp> I was wondering why it wasnt in the helios repo. Had to build from source
09:31:56 <sjorge> a brand is like a flavor of a zone
09:32:51 <sjorge> for example omnios has one for bhyve and for qemu/kvm
09:33:26 <sjorge> they basically run bhyve (c-userspace) or kvm (qemu userspace) inside a bare bones zone
09:33:40 <sjorge> so you get all the additional isolation benefits
09:34:26 <sjorge> there is also LX which is a linux syscall emulation layer so you can run some unmodified linux binaries inside it
09:34:45 <sjorge> someone more knowledgeable please jump in if needed
16:53:47 <sommerfeld> sjorge/elwisp: correct.  zones allow you to run brand-specific code for a bunch of zone-related operations, whether install-time (you can have brands for different packaging systems) or runtime (VM, LX syscall emulation, etc.,).
