Do I always need a distro to run OpenVZ ? In my case, I don't use a
distro but just kernel+initrd+my own application
Do you mean, can you run your mini-OS as a guest within a OpenVZ
container? Very probably! If your "not a distro" can boot and run on
normal hardware, you should be able to:
* take a snapshot of the installed system
* prune out the kernel and modules
* tar it up again
* then deploy it as a container template
There's a lot of tinkering involved, but the basic answer is that if
it'll boot and run on hardware, it'll likely work in a container.
