[Users] So, this is it? (OpenVZ dead)

[jehan Procaccia]

Hello

I am afraid that you are right, openVZ9 seems to be a dead end .

thanks a for the link 
https://www.virtuozzo.com/hybrid-server-docs/9.0/release-notes-9.0/#known-issues-and-limitations

indeed no mention of openVZ9 (community/free  edition of Virtuozzo 
Hybrid Server 9; VHS 9)

lots of things seems to change (lot's of usual tools replaced by a 
"Control Pannel") and moreover,  no more system Containers  (CT) , which 
was one of the most significant  advantage of openVZ over other systems .

As a VHS 7 subscriber , I did receive some information from support and 
staff regarding openVZ9, but still no clear statement about continuation 
of it . some told me that system CT will be discontinued, others no ... 
not clear, I think there's a missinterpretation from system CT and K8S 
containers ... I'll reply pointing them to  that thread if they dare 
reply here ?

but for now , indeed I am also looking at Proxmox LXC .

regards .

jehan.
