The ops team is currently working on virtualization in production. How easy it will be in practice is another question, because currently there's too many hurdles in bringing up a new service, and allocating the hardware (which will be alleviated by virtualization) is just one part of problem that also includes monitoring, getting ops approvals for many things, requesting access to the new servers for developers, etc. -- Best regards, Max Semenik ([[User:MaxSem]])
