<p>I hope I am not wrong to disagree regarding your skepticism for
future of openVZ (7,8,9 ...) <br>
</p>
<p>check in that same thread discussion :<br>
</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://marc.info/?l=openvz-users&m=167080032829556&w=2">https://marc.info/?l=openvz-users&m=167080032829556&w=2</a></p>
<p>I confirm that running openVZ 7 is rock solid, and we do use lots
of CTs, for me the best featured containers solution</p>
<p>we are expecting a continuation with VZ 9 (as 8 might be
skipped). as a public accademic school we appreciate free and
openSource software</p>
<p>but we keep purchase few virtuozzo commercial licences as much as
we can to contribute to the project . <br>
</p>
<p>as long as this:

<p><i><font size="2"><a class="reference external"
href="https://openvz.org/">OpenVZ</a> 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.</font></i></p>
<p>is still true, if Virtuozzo Hybrid Server is based on the
openSource OpenVZ, I don't see any fears regarding its future .</p>

<p>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) <br>

<p>which seems quite recent, is in a far better state now . <br>

OpenVZ 7, 8, 9 ...

<br>
May be better to use just virtual machines using QEMU-KVM and
libvirt ?
<br>
<br>
This solution is very stable, very feature rich and very useful.
<br>
<br>
If you need to use very cheap virtual machines - try to use
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://firecracker-microvm.github.io/">https://firecracker-microvm.github.io/</a>
<br>
<br>
Or you can combine Firecracker MicroVMs with Docker / OCI images
to unify containers and VMs: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/weaveworks/ignite">https://github.com/weaveworks/ignite</a>

Stop to use OpenVZ, because OpenVZ 6 is End Of Life and now it is
dead project.
<br>
<br>
OpenVZ 6 is just last true and fully functional OpenVZ version.
<br>
<br>
Something named OpenVZ 7, OpenVZ 8, OpenVZ 9 ... is just agony of
OpenVZ project.

While openvz 7 has been getting updates, it seems openvz 8 is
fairly

static, and openvz 9 seems not ready for use.
<br>
<br>
Is there an intent to continue support of openvz beyond version
7?
<br>

Since openvz is a great advertisement for virtuozzo, it would be
a shame if
<br>
it faded away.
