We have 90% standard LAMP+java inhouse applications which do not care too much about which distro or kernel they are running on so they are ideal for VZ containers, but I still want to be able to use the same physical hardware to host the remaining 10% either windows or picky, mostly crappy proprietary apps that really want specific distribution versions or kernels or whatnot. Right now I'm using VZ containers in fully virtualized xen hosts, but that seems like a waste of resources when they can run on the host os. The key for me here is memory distribution, VZ is much better at that as a container will use as much resources as it needs when it needs them and then return them to host. I am not aware of any on-demand automatic memory allocation for xen, so for xen I have to guess a lot, and mostly I guess wrong ;) -- To sto si frustriran, zavidan tko zna na cemu i sto ne vidis dalje od svoje guzice je tuzno.
