OK, thanks to your advices, I migrated a C8 CT to VZ8 following those
actions and until now it still working :
1) replace C8 repos with VzLinux
2) install vzlinux-release package
3) distro-sync (~ update
https://www.thegeekdiary.com/how-to-use-distro-sync-option-with-dnf-to-upgrade-os-centos-rhel-8/)
for the record, below is the details of those 3 actions:
1) replace C8 repos with VzLinux => below C8 root prompt is le C8 CT
that is to be moved to VZ8, VZ8 prompt is a VZ8 CT created from scratch
from a "pure" vz8 EZ template where I could get /VZLINUX_GPG_KEY and
//RPM-GPG-KEY-Virtuozzo-8//
/
/[root@*C8* /etc/yum.repos.d] # rm CentOS-*/
/
/
/[root@*VZ8* /etc/yum.repos.d] //# scp vzlinux.repo
root@*C8*:/etc/yum.repos.d///
/
/[root@*VZ8* /etc/yum.repos.d] # scp /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/VZLINUX_GPG_KEY
root@*C8:*/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/VZLINUX_GPG_KEY/

/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-Virtuozzo-8
root@*C8*:/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-Virtuozzo-8//
/
2) install vzlinux-release package

Hi,
EZ template was indeed created a year ago:) But initially it was
targeted for testing purposes and was not subjected to deep testing at
our side, so yes, one can consider it to be a "beta" quality. Though
mostly it works fine, I don't remember any serious issues with
template itself (however, one can still meet issues with some packages
missing in VzLinux8 repos).
As for converting C8 ct to VzLinux8 one - there is no official way
atm. In theory, if you have internet connection inside the CT, you can
replace C8 repos with VzLinux one (e.g., just install vzlinux-release
package) and run distrosync. And finally, change template in CT
config. But this is just a guess, I have never tried this myself.

Hello,
I received today from virtuozzo the roadmap for VZ8 which is promising
as a centos8 replacement :
https://www.virtuozzo.com/connect/details/blog/view/do-you-have-an-alternative-to-centos-virtuozzo-has-you-covered-with-vzlinux.html
<https://www.virtuozzo.com/connect/details/blog/view/do-you-have-an-alternative-to-centos-virtuozzo-has-you-covered-with-vzlinux.html>
while testing a new vz8 CT , I realized that there is such a EZ
template here:
https://download.openvz.org/virtuozzo/releases/openvz-7.0.15-628/x86_64/os/Packages/v/vzlinux-8-x86_64-ez-7.0.0-3.vz7.noarch.rpm
<https://download.openvz.org/virtuozzo/releases/openvz-7.0.15-628/x86_64/os/Packages/v/vzlinux-8-x86_64-ez-7.0.0-3.vz7.noarch.rpm>
dating apparently from nearly 1 year now !?
18-Feb-2020 08:17 18K
is this unrelated to the annoucement which is only related to
bareMetal/hypervisor vzlinux-8 ?
"/VzLinux 8 OS template for OpenVZ and Virtuozzo Hybrid Server is
available for evaluation in BETA quality and will be officially
announced as supported later this month./"
is this template VZ8 EZ template a beta version ?, I can run it and
report problems if needed ...
is their already a conversion tool for a centos8 CT to a VZ8 ?
thanks .
Jehan .

Indeed, sorry for the delay, php packages have finally landed into

Hello,
Thank you, that's great. I just thought I'd let you know I'm still
not seeing any PHP packages in the repos for VzLinux 8 as of this
morning, just in case something still needs to be done for these to
show up. If it's just a case of needing to wait a bit longer then
I'll try again tomorrow.
