[Users] Status of OVZ 8 & 9

[jehan Procaccia]

I hope I am not wrong to disagree regarding your skepticism for future 
of openVZ (7,8,9 ...)

check in that same thread discussion :

https://marc.info/?l=openvz-users&m=167080032829556&w=2

I confirm that running openVZ 7 is rock solid, and we do use lots of 
CTs, for me the best featured containers  solution

we are expecting a  continuation with VZ 9 (as 8 might be skipped). as a 
public accademic school we appreciate free and openSource software

but we keep purchase few virtuozzo commercial licences as much as we can 
to contribute to the project .

as long as this: 
https://docs.virtuozzo.com/virtuozzo_hybrid_server_7_users_guide/learning-basics/vhs-vs-openvz.html

/OpenVZ <https://openvz.org/> 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./

is still true, if Virtuozzo Hybrid Server is based on the openSource 
OpenVZ, I don't see any fears regarding its future .

https://docs.virtuozzo.com/virtuozzo_product_lifecycle_policy/index.html

but indeed, we are waiting for a VZ 9 which maybe lacks of a clearer 
raodmap, for exemple, is it still as much an Ahpha release (not to use 
in production) as mentioned here (Feb 2022)

https://www.virtuozzo.com/company/blog/product-updates/virtuozzo-hybrid-server-9-alpha-2/

or http://repo.virtuozzo.com/vz/releases/

/vz9.iso *20-Dec-2022 12:31*      2G/

which seems quite recent, is in a far better state now .

Thanks .

jehan .
