I agree that paravirtualization and container "virtualization" are very effective for a lot of purposes - but there's one really important restriction - For containers, the "guest" can only be the same version of the same OS as the host... And... For paravirtualization, the guest must be specifically built for that situation, which could theoretically mean you can run any guest OS, but practically, it often means the guest OS must be very similar to the host. (Run linux inside of linux, etc.) You're basically not going to run paravirtualized windows in a linux host, for example. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
