Future of OpenVZ?Future of OpenVZ?Posted Jul 25, 2012 12:09 UTC (Wed) by Lennie (subscriber, #49641)In reply to: Future of OpenVZ? by dskoll Parent article: CRtools 0.1 released
I think the goal is to get as much of OpenVZ in the mainline Linux kernel, that should reduce the effort the OpenVZ developers have to do to maintain it.
If only because the OpenVZ developers can use part of the in-kernel functions LXC also uses, this will reduce the OpenVZ code base.
If that means that the OpenVZ user-space tools will end up just as a wrapper around LXC-API for compatibility or easier management, because LXC can do everything OpenVZ can do, I don't know.

I believe the OpenVZ developers are involved in LXC in some manner.
Something like LXC is the bits that the OpenVZ people have been able to merge. Or something like that. A 'vanilla' version of OpenVZ so-to-say.
I am not sure about this as it's been a while since I looked into it.

The Debian kernel team generally tries to avoid adding features without upstream support, and the OpenVZ project has not had the resources to support stable kernel branches other than one based on RHEL (I think bug #655385 illustrates the problem - and note that the fix for that is pending!). I would expect that OpenVZ's own kernel packages based on RHEL will be usable with a squeeze or wheezy userland.

This is exactly what proxmox ve does. (http://pve.proxmox.com)
