any update for OpenVZ 9?
https://new-forum.openvz.org/index.phpindex.php?t=rview&goto=53798&th=13676#msg_53798
I have been using OpenVZ 6 & 7 for many years, which are really great container based virtualization.
OpenVZ 8 & 9 has been released for 1-2 yrs already, OpenVZ 8 seems already dead because only 1 version was released, then after an year OpenVZ 9 was released. According to the update server (https://download.openvz.org/virtuozzo/updates/), looks like OpenVZ 9 is stopping the update since 24 Feb 2022 while OpenVZ 7 still keep updating.
Earlier this year I had tested OpenVZ 9, there were many problems & errors (e.g. https://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=msg&th=13670), so I haven't used it in production environment yet. It's been almost 1 year with no further updates, I'm afraid it will end the same way as OpenVZ 8.
Is anyone using OpenVZ 9 here? Is OpenVZ 9 already dead or still developing? Is it suitable for production usage?]]>hkendusers2022-11-15T03:37:58-00:00Re: any update for OpenVZ 9?

It is not unreasonable question to ask, usually companies plans years ahead, and this 6 year vacuum frm previous release doesnt look good for openVZ - especially when there is so much competition, and I would hate to see it shoveled.Maybe you plan to support OpenVZ7 even after EL7 EOL?
Are there any more Alpha or beta releases 8/9 in some other secret place we could try ?
Please dont leave us hanging.. ]]>dmc_dtc2022-11-16T14:08:29-00:00Re: any update for OpenVZ 9?

Just for an update, OpenVZ just released a new version 7.0.19-347, so version 7 is not dead yet. https://download.openvz.org/virtuozzo/releases/7.0/x86_64/is o/
Hope we can see OpenVZ 9 new version soon...]]>hkendusers2022-12-24T06:43:47-00:00Re: any update for OpenVZ 9?

On that topic, while we can't know what the Virtuozzo devs are planning, we can look at their history of support. They supported OpenVZ 6 with security patches for many years after CentOS 6 went EOL, and until OpenVZ 7 was considered (arguably) stable.
Given that they don't appear to have a replacement that's even close to stable yet in OpenVZ9 (nor OVZ8 as you guys observed), I'd bet they'll continue to support Virtuozzo 7 / OpenVZ 7 until at least they have a stable replacement. Considering the Virtuozzo devs have based their own infrastructure systems on it, that all seems reasonable/plausible to me.
