[Users] Status of OVZ 8 & 9

Tue Apr 23 10:34:15 MSK 2024

Hello

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 .

Anyway, it's  disturbing not to see someone from virtuozzo reply to this 
concern !?

I agree, I largely prefer openVZ/virtuozzo CTs rather than LXC/LCD , 
it-s a pity that virtuozzo doesn't profit from the mass of peaple 
migrating from VmWare , rather to proxmox ... which do had openVZ CTs in 
the past !
