To container or not to container?

"Containerizing" an Oracle instance obviously adds a level of complexity to any environment.

If you have, say, a 9i instance in a Solaris 10 global zone and Oracle is the only thing running on a system, what is the motivation to employ resource management?

It seems that forcing kernel parameters in the system file is still a viable avenue. And if you need to do something on-line, then prctl is your tool.

Neither SUN nor Oracle have definitive answers on the matter, or at least none that I've found.
