Yes, Solaris Containers.

That allows Solaris 10 to run on top the latest Solaris 11.
This was to provide a quick pathway to get the system to the new Data Center
without having to make any changes at all.

Solaris containers? Docker, Kubernettes, OpenVZ and alike are simply Linux
implementations of Solaris zones. Solaris zones are lightweight virtual
machines which were SUN Microsystems response to IBM system partitioning. IBM
could partition a big system into several smaller systems known as "lparts",
with each lpart getting its exclusive memory, CPU and disk resources. Solaris
zones were much more flexible and could share resources with so called "global
zone". Docker and OpenVZ were just a logical continuation of the idea:
lightweight "virtual machines"
all using the central Linux kernel and being limited with memory, CPU and disk
consumption. Linux containers are just a port of Solaris zones.
Windows containers are an ungodly abomination with the "Start" button.
