Oracle Confirms Docker for Solaris at JavaOne

Oracle has confirmed at JavaOne 2016 that future visions of Solaris will include Docker

“As a member of the Open Container Initiative, Oracle highlighted how it will be bringing native Docker support within Oracle Solaris. Containers will leverage Solaris key features such as security, efficient virtualisation, ZFS cloning, smart file system and multi-platform compatibility for both SPARC and x86 systems.”

Solaris 12 is expected later this year as per the Oracle published roadmap: http://www.oracle.com/us/products/servers-storage/servers/sparc/oracle-sparc/sparc-roadmap-slide-2076743.pdf
