Column – Immutable Service Containers in OpenSolaris

The OpenSolaris security team has added an interesting proof of concept feature. Immutable Service Containers are designed to make building, configuring, and recreating pre-secured containers easier. The net result, if incorporated into OpenSolaris and eventually a future version of Solaris, should be a set of security best practices managed via a feature-rich framework. Between now and then, there is quite a bit of work for the team to do. My December 2009 column in ;login: Magazine discusses the design goals and current state of Immutable Service Containers. Members of USENIX can read it on-line, while others can download it here:
