Hi Everyone,
I was a big fan of Solaris zones when they first came out and I was looking for a way to implement this type of feature on a web / application /database server I run with OpenVZ.
After trying a few things, and poking around I think I may be better off asking some of you about this before I try much more.
I would like to use containers more for security and backups/snapshots than for quotas. Actually I don't care about quotas at all in terms of disk space, but resource management (CPU, memory) maybe but not a must.
Currently the kernel I'm using is 3.8.2, but gets updated rather regularly by the Fedora maintainers. Because of the big difference in kernel versions I'm not sure if I can even use a VZ kernel.
Next, If I don't use the VZ kernel the networking/bridging instructions are a little confusing. I got to this page:
wiki.openvz.org Slash Using_private_IPs_for_Hardware_Nodes
and the first set of instructions uses asterisks and too many vague pronoun references for my old eyes.
So, with all of this, can some one point me into a better and more productive way to get a VE started?
Thank you,
Erik
