@jpm it's not quite that simple - the Solaris kernel has been 64-bit only since Solaris 11.0, but not the userspace programs - those had been kept mostly 32-bit so they could be used on either a 32-bit or 64-bit kernel, and we started converting them all to 64-bit after the #OracleSolaris 11 release - see https://blogs.oracle.com/solaris/post/moving-oracle-solaris-to-lp64-bit-by-bit and https://blogs.oracle.com/solaris/post/oracle-solaris-114-beta-progress-on-lp64-conversion - we're now up to 98.8% converted and working on finishing the last few we plan to convert and EOL'ing the rest.
@jpm stay tuned

📦 Are FreeBSD Jails a Containers? | @vermaden
｢ IMHO the term Containers is not reserved to Linux Podman/Docker solutions. The term Containers was in the BSD/UNIX land long before Docker or Podman saw any light of day – and yet – now the new kids on the block are to decide what to call a Container or not?
The FreeBSD Jails were introduced in year 2000 as a Container technology – some called it improved chroot(8) on steroids also ｣
