On servers memory cgroups taken together with the existing CPU slicing cgroups and affinity cgroups enables the same stuff that Solaris "zones" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solaris_Containers) does, more or less, but actually better because it's more fine-grained and doesn't need you to configure an entire virtual machine. Instead of limiting this one virtual machine, the cgroups features make it possible to limit this one group of processes, without any virtualization overhead. I guess you could combine it with User Mode Linux if you want real, constrained virtualization. cgroups are really a core killer feature in Linux, just that the rest of the world doesn't quite know yet, nor do userspace know quite how to handle all the nice cgroups, but much is happening right now. Even if servers is what most cgroup authors probably have in mind, they are equally useful to desktops and embedded systems.
