    I have been running a free beta trial for a long time now, honestly it just works, purely from the perspective of hosting with solusvm, its identical to vz6 just with a newer kernel and possibly a better template system.

    I think the reason someone may have said that is because vz7 only came out of beta/rtm about 5 (ish) weeks ago so really, while solusvm supported it, you could not really consider it stable.

    Oh, ok, didn't knew that.

    I installed openvz 7 around 1 year ago and quickly reinstalled it with ovz 6 because it was buggy as hell. But now, it looks to be more mature.

    Personally, our company has focused more on KVM's at this point and by next year I'll likely bring up enough transfer gear to offer 1:1 migrations for people into KVM instances instead.

    LXC and such has a lot of shortcomings (because it isn't designed for multi tenant use) so it's not a great option. You can jimmy rig parts but many parts are still borked.

    All the points you hit on is my take as well, including LXC.

    I have used OVZ 6 and KVM side by side for years. KVM has always been more stable. It got better with kernel updates but it's never been as solid as KVM. Sounds like OVZ 7 started that cycle all over again. I don't like the fact you now have to use a custom OS distro for OVZ 7.

    I like OpenVZ 6 because of simfs. If I am not wrong, OpenVZ 7 uses bindmounts in place of it and user second level quotas are not implemented (at the moment) with bindmounts.

    Simfs is one of the best things about OVZ 6. I think it's limited to what it can do on OVZ 7 and will not be there moving forward. They are basically saying don't use it. So that's just another reason not to use OVZ 7 imo.

    I’ll probably roll it out on new LES locations. Depends on the outcome from the first few tries

  • AnthonySmithAnthonySmith Member, Patron Provider

    Yep, I am working the plan to migrate all LES services to VZ7 as well right now (as well as all current VZ6 services)

    I will not be doing any new locations any time soon, I just have to many other things to concentrate on, @Mikho has 10 now and I believe that will soon grow.

    I’m working with @Oliver of RansomIT to roll out in Auckland and Singapore next.

    Other suggestions on locations?

    Ah ok, you have 10 in your sig that's all.

  • This is due to CentOS 6 is still supported until November 30th, 2020. Now in 2020 the OpenVZ 7 is already widely used in the world. See recent stats: https://stats7-web.openvz.org/

  • I wonder why anyone would use OpenVZ when you can get full virtualization with KVM. There is no reason for OpenVZ any longer.

  • I would like to ask one general question to all users. Why people still want to use OpenVZ VPS. We have a more efficient virtualization option on the KVM and Xen platform. If you are looking on budget VPS then you can go with OpenVZ 7.
