[Users] Another reason I use openvz

[Jehan PROCACCIA]

I agree, my CTs (OVZ 7) run also very well and the full feature and fine tune of ressources permitted by openvz compared to lxc seems very good to me , 
still I am suprised how openvz/virtuozzo looks like an old technology in our sysadmins community 
most of them took the curve to lxc when proxmox decided to replace its CT from openvz to lxc, so people are refereing to openvz (6) as beeing an old technolgy back in the days ... 
when I talk about virtuozzo and tell people that it is based on modern openvz (7 and hopefully soon 9) , no one knows of it , 
is it a lake of communication ? or I am confusing the status of virtuozzo? I take this for granted from my own experience runing several virtuozzo (unlicenced) servers/hypervisors, 
and for the sake of supporting the compagny I keep buy very few licenced servers (although we are not host provider, just a public academic school) 
regarding communication I think I am not mistaking by refring to :

extract : 


[ https://openvz.org/ | OpenVZ ] is a free, open-source virtualization solution available under GNU GPL. OpenVZ is the base for Virtuozzo Hybrid Server , the commercial solution that builds on OpenVZ and offers additional benefits to customers. 





so if openVZ is the base of VHS , I guess that it is still up2date and the opensource community be able to continue to test and use it !

I think this great product deserve more consideration in our OSS community , and probabably that having OVZ9 running and validated by the OSS community might help this projet to overcome .

While I've seen lxc containers mysteriously hang, suffer bit rot, or self destruct, the openvz containers have been solid. 

One of my OVZ-7 servers had an old centos 7 container that I used for testing haproxy, that I'd turned off in 2019. 

I vgmigrated it to a new OVZ-9 test machine, started it, and it worked just like it hadn't been turned off for 4 years. 

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the production release of OVZ 9
