OpenVZ is around since 2005, see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenVZ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenVZ and it had checkpointing, live migration between hosts, dump container to tar, etc before Docker even existed.
- sillystuff 4y agoAnd linux vserver* has been around since 2001. If you were willing to use out of tree patches, linux containers pre-date Solaris containers by years (Debian distributed pre-patched kernels pretty early on, so you didn't need to deal with compiling your own kernels, and Debian also had an option for vserver + grsec patched kernels). But, freebsd jails beats linux vserver by a year. * not to be confused with the similarly named linux virtual server (LVS) load balancer.
