Hi Sergey, thanks for the update - these are indeed awesome news. A colleague of mine and I are busy setting up 4 physical nodes with OpenStack and VZ7 for testing this new beta and will report any found anomalies in the bug tracker.
I guess there will be several people taking advantage of the seasonal break for playing with VZ7 :-) All the best, Corrado Fiore ______________________________________ On 22/12/2015, at 8:11 PM, Sergey Bronnikov <serg...@openvz.org> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I'd like to share with you news on the latest changes in Virtuozzo 7 > development. > > The most important new is publishing of final version of Virtuozzo 7 Beta 2. > > The key changes available in this Technical Preview are: > - Virtuozzo 7 is based on RHEL 7 and Kernel 3.10+; > - Virtuozzo 7 uses the KVM/QEMU hypervisor; > - Containers use cgroups and namespaces that limit, account for, and isolate > resource usage as isolated namespaces of a collection of processes; > - UUIDs are used to identify both virtual machines and containers; > - VCMM 4th generation of memory manager.
