[Users] Status of OVZ 8 & 9

[Maik Broemme]

Hi Jake,

First of all glad to hear that OpenVZ led to adoption of Virtuozzo for your Linux infrastructure. As I've mentioned in the other thread we are still and continuous developing it but haven't managed communication with community well the last months. We and myself will improve it.

Yes, this is my concern.

As we move forward, we are always evaluating what are the safest bets, and while I've favored openvz/virtuozzo since 2011, alternatives such as proxmox are looking increasingly viable, given the fact that openvz development appears to be stagnant.

At present, openvz has features that are superior to those in proxmox, if they exist at all. Hopefully that lead won't be squandered.

As I've mentioned before, my personal use of openvz led directly to the adoption of virtuozzo for our Linux infrastructure at a previous large employer, and I'd hate to see the free version wither away into irrelevance.

Hello

indeed , we also use openvz7 (free virtuozzo) and are wondering what is best to install new servers hypervisors with , openvz8 or 9 ? 
is it not because we use free openvz that we don't support the virtuozzo businness, although we are a public school we do purchase a few virtuozzy hybrid server licences in order to participate to the maintenance and developpement of these great products . 
please let us know if we did the right choice ?

Hello all,
Is it safe to say that openvz 7 is essentially the end of the line in terms of an effective, free openvz solution? I've been looking at openvz 8 & 9, and much as I want them to work, they don't seem to be viable.

Thanks for any insight you can share.

I've been running openvz 7 for some years, and I periodically check on the status of openvz 8 and 9.

While openvz 7 has been getting updates, it seems openvz 8 is fairly static, and openvz 9 seems not ready for use.

Is there an intent to continue support of openvz beyond version 7?

Since openvz is a great advertisement for virtuozzo, it would be a shame if it faded away.
