Virtualization

Virtualization Overview

OpenVZ (Virtuozzo 7) provides Linux containers. Individual virtual Linux systems share the same kernel, reducing overhead.

Key points:

• Server host runs CentOS-7
• VZ guests can be any compatible Linux (Linux 3.10 x86_64 bit); typically Ubuntu 16.04
• system software patches and updates must be applied to both
• VZ resources are limited to a fraction of the host
• individual VZ instances can be migrated to and from VZ server hosts with minimal interruption
