I am not so sure if OpenVZ as a project is going to "survive" the fact that Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and RHEL6 both are switching to LXC, I am afraid it might starve to death.
However it should become (a lot) easier to get a current distro (like lucid) running (and up to date) as guest under any kernel virtualization, at least under those kernel virtualizations officially supported, like LXC in lucid. Especially with the extremely young LXC many guest-specific details are far from clear, i.e. what parts of /dev/ should be bind-mounted, what services not to start or to remove, how to have apt-get update survive dpkg-reconfigure udev, and so on. Yes, LXC needs to do far more documentation for people other than kernel developers, and yes I kind of dislike both udev and upstart, but the distros should throw in more support, too. There are several HowTos across the web and it's possible to get it running somehow, but by far not as easy and stable as OpenVZ under hardy. We run >30 hardy guests on CentOS hosts, but at the moment I would'nt dare using lucid. Is there any chance of getting an "official" Lucid-as-LXC- guest.template? -- [Lucid] fails to host and to be hosted using LXC/OpenVZ containers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/512200 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
