openvz doesn't seem to be known outside of hosting/hosters community, otherwise - it's quite a mature container engine

- shykes 13y agoThe ancestor of Docker at dotCloud ran on openvz. We moved to lxc in 2010 when it became usable. I think of them as mostly interchangeable except for the shared hosting use case where openvz has a head start (more time for more eyeballs to audit and fix it). Now the whole "openvz vs. lxc" distinction is pretty moot - linux has namespaces and cgroups. Everything else is a matter of choice of userland libraries and cli tools.
