"LVE stands for Lightweight Virtual Environments, a proprietary technology from CloudLinux."
Proprietary is the main reason why it will lose to containers.
"Unlike Docker, Virtuozzo and LXC, which operate on the process level, LVE is able to operate on the thread level. This allows multithreaded servers such as Apache (with its 'worker' MPM) to take advantage of LVE without having to run a separate instance per LVE user."
This is the other reason why it will lose: Increased attack surface to every API of every single process they use on the shared server, AKA "bad neighbor effect" with a vengeance.
- iseletsk 11y agoIt is not that it will lose to the containers. It is just another way to consume containers. Is it going to be as popular as Docker -- no. It is a niche product for specific market that solves the needs of this market. There might be other needs that it can address. Some people address it now by using standard cgroup / namespaces interfaces.
