- optize, on 01/08/2008, -0/+7OpenVZ is swsoft's free version of virtuozzo. It's an amazing product, and considering virtuozzo is so expensive, it's very much appreciated.
- Eddible, on 01/08/2008, -2/+7Because no one gives a damn if its been duped. This story got to the front page first, live with it.
- leodavinci, on 01/08/2008, -0/+4kick ass
- inactive, on 01/08/2008, -2/+5wish i had as much money as sw-soft to keep rebranding :/
- enachb, on 01/08/2008, -0/+2We are using OpenVZ in production and in comparison to Xen or VMWare there is almost no performance hit (we typically see
- vfvalent, on 10/07/2008, -0/+1I like OpenVZ, it's very powerful in particular when you have to set up a virtual web server. Its performances are better then Xen in this sector. Unfortunately it was not integrated into the Linux kernel. What a pity!
- thebusdriver, on 01/08/2008, -3/+4I dont understand why people are voting him down?
- plusmedic, on 01/09/2008, -0/+1I dug you up for your first mention, because yes, making OS templates is fairly easy, and chances are if you're using OpenVZ it's something you'll know how to do. That being said, a new template is a welcome addition, if only for convenience.
While SWSoft may not provide official kernel packages for things like Debian, there is a repository out there for them. I am currently running their 2.6.18 OpenVZ SMP kernel on Debian 4.0 and have had no issues. Check it out at http://debian.systs.org/
I don't really see why you would want to use Ubuntu as the host however... - muszek, on 01/09/2008, -0/+1Familiarity and support.
I used to have CentOS on my dedicated web server. Having much stronger debian background (have been Ubuntu user for 2.5 years), I didn't really feel comfortable at it. When my partner borked the machine I was actually happy - we put Debian on it and I felt at home. But it's 3.1 (Sarge), which is not gonna be supported for much longer and I don't want to dist-upgrade a production machine. So... when Hardy comes out (5 years of support on a server), I'll move my toys over to a new machine. - pyite, on 01/08/2008, -3/+4I use OpenVZ quite heavily, and my first impression is "big deal". Making OS templates is fairly easy.
What I would really like to see is the ability to easily make an Ubuntu machine into a hardware node, or server, or whatever you want to call it. Currently, it is much easier to use Red Hat or Fedora because SWSoft makes RPM's of the openvz kernel. Nothing wrong with RH, I would just like the option of Ubuntu or Debian too. - linksus, on 01/08/2008, -1/+1Cool
- jackflap, on 01/08/2008, -7/+2template virtualized os? sounds complicated
