Hi, exactly same story here, long time user of openVZ , even subscribe to few Virtuozzo licences (VHS) to support the project

we've been waiting for ovz9 to no avail, nowdays  that there's a RHEL 10,  there might be an interest for ovz 10 !

anyway, we've moved to Proxmox, using LXC container when possible, that works quite fine, I didn't notice yet  a  2 times faster result from PMX/LCX  in regards to openVZ CT, but didn't took the time to bench .

it's indeed a shame, while Virtuozzo still claim :

/OpenVZ <https://openvz.org/> is a free, open-source virtualization solution available under GNU GPL. *OpenVZ is the base for Virtuozzo Hybrid Server*, the commercial solution that builds on OpenVZ and offers additional benefits to customers./

cf : https://docs.virtuozzo.com/virtuozzo_hybrid_server_7_users_guide/learning-basics/vhs-vs-openvz.html

Hi all,

I was an openvz and virtuozzo user and admin since around 2011 or so. Since the company ended their support for OVZ, I've reluctantly migrated almost everything to proxmox.

I still have containers on two OVZ VMs on Proxmox, but I'm about to migrate their functionality away and shut down the OVZ VMs for good.

I did some preparatory testing and couldn't help but notice that the OVZ CTs are still much snappier than KVM VMs or LXC containers. Even with OVZ running in a VM, the network response time on the OVZ container s is about 3 times faster than that of a KVM VM, and over twice as fast as an LXC container.

A shame, really. This was the best virtualization platform.  But life goes on.

I'd be curious if there was any hope for OpenVZ down the road, or what alternatives have been chosen in its place.
