Abstract
According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method and technique for shared versioned workload partitions is disclosed. The method includes: creating, in a host machine running an instance of a first version of an operating system, a first workload partition associated with a second version of the operating system, the second version of the operating system comprising a different version of the operating system than the first version of the operating system; creating, in the logical partition, a second workload partition associated with the second version of the operating system; and hierarchically linking the second workload partition to the first workload partition to enable sharing of resources of the first workload partition by the second workload partition.
