Good news :)

Yes, we are very close to the final release of Virtuozzo 7.  We have released
all planned beta versions and our next public version will be RTM.

Right now engineers busy with final testing and bugfixing before release and we
publish each new Vz7 build on download.openvz.org
(https://download.openvz.org/virtuozzo/releases/7.0-rtm/x86_64/iso/). I highly
recommend to try published pre-RTM builds because one of them will be
final and we interested in fixing most of a bugs prior to release.

So the answer is: wait for final release and then deploy it instead of current
version of OpenVZ.

Unfortunately I cannot provide exact dates for the release.
