If you control all the VPS in the farm, lxc might be usable. Otherwise, openvz might be a better choice. And who knows, later versions of openvz might use lxc at its core. > http://me.veekun.com/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/ > .. felt that something is not right with PHP, and this post nailed it to the > point.

IIRC libvirt only has limited lxc support. Definitely no GUI (virt-manager) support (yet).

IIRC you can have multiple application pools (e.g. one for each user), each can run in a chroot environment, with unique user for each pool. > I don't really see a major difference between Ubuntu and Fedora, .. > however if you say that Ubuntu is probably more stable or secure, I may > switch to > it. Try it :) Sometimes all it takes is some kernel boot command line to have ubuntu boot on very new hardware. Also note that latest stable is now at 12.04.1, so there might be some changes (e.g. drivers) compared to 12.04 that allows it to work on your hardware now. > I want to put together the right tool set, the right software environment > now, so I can create a container farm, with two or more physical servers, and > a nice GUI that I can present even for normal users. If your users only use php, php-fpm might be less painful. If you don't trust your users, better stick with known working solutions (e.g. openvz, xen, whatever). You might find better frontends for them (even when some frontends are commercial ones) -- Fajar ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
