A containment mechanism provides for the grouping and isolation of multiple processes running on a single computer using a single instance of the operating system. A system is divided into one or more side-by-side and/or nested isolated environments enabling the partitioning and controlled sharing of resources by creating different views of hierarchical name spaces via virtual hierarchies.
