Quoting Andy Harrison aharrison@gmail.com:
I just wondered if there was an equivalent to Solaris Zones available for Linux. Not necessarily a full blown separate operating system like vmware, but more like chroot on steroids...
We are using openvz at work, and is a excellent alternative to full blown virtualization.
we have install now under centos4 and centos5 for example for dev groups that have dedicated environments. openvz will provide tools and kernels for both ones. The only "problem" that have is not full support for x86_64 system. but we have solved this problem (thanks to the openvz wiki) and have servers with centos4 and centos5 VE (virtual environments).
we are prefering openvz over xen in centos5 install in almost all the installs. The only diference is when we have a need to full virt (like running rh7/rh8 inside a xen domain)
