[Users] Status of OVZ 8 & 9

[Gena Makhomed]

OpenVZ 6 is last fully functional version, running on top of CentOS.

OpenVZ 7, 8, 9 ...

May be better to use just virtual machines using QEMU-KVM and libvirt ?

This solution is very stable, very feature rich and very useful.

If you need to use very cheap virtual machines - try to use 
https://firecracker-microvm.github.io/

Or you can combine Firecracker MicroVMs with Docker / OCI images to 
unify containers and VMs: https://github.com/weaveworks/ignite

Stop to use OpenVZ, because OpenVZ 6 is End Of Life and now it is dead 
project.

OpenVZ 6 is just last true and fully functional OpenVZ version.

Something named OpenVZ 7, OpenVZ 8, OpenVZ 9 ... is just agony of OpenVZ 
project.
