Wow. Thanks to everyone for sharing their suggestions and thanks to Sergey and Vladimir for chiming in and bringing insiders' knowledge to this thread ;-)
In our particular use case, we've decided to go like this: • deploy the beta versions for the new setup • make sure that they work in our intended setup • contribute bug reports, testing, etc. to the final version • deploy the stable VZ7 in production Also Spameden's suggestion is sound: newer hardware calls for more recent kernels. At the end of the day, we just have to continue what we're doing: in fact, some bug reports do not carry my name specifically but come from our team :-) Best, Corrado Fiore ___________________________________________ > On 4 Jun 2016, at 1:30 AM, jjs - mainphrame <j...@mainphrame.com> wrote: > > Greetings - > > Based on our experience with OVZ 7 over the past several months, it's > already good enough for our needs, where OVZ 7 CTs have been handling > smtp, pop3/imap, spam/virus scanning for several domains, database, > dns and build host duties with very few issues, and those issues that > have occurred, have had easy workarounds. we do have some redundancy > in the form of multiple CTs on separate hosts, and round robin DNS > entries to eliminate single points of failure, but that's just good > practice. > > YMMV of course, we're only using containers and not VMs, and certainly > a Fortune 100 company would want to move much more slowly and > cautiously than we have. > > Jake > > > On Fri, Jun 3, 2016 at 12:40 AM, Corrado Fiore <li...@corradofiore.it> wrote: >> Dear All, >> >> we need to prepare a new setup composed of a few nodes (probably 5) for >> August this year. >> >> If I interpreted the wii page correctly, the next VZ7 release will be a >> stable one.
