Welcome back OpenVZ... except that this will be part of the OS now.. and i wouldn't call these "an optimization of virtual machines".. containers are part of the kernel/OS so call it kernel/OS virtualization based if you want where virtual machines are or supposed to be hardware virtualization based.
Ex.
openvz,lxc - containers
kvm,xen - virtual machines
- memracom 13y agoOpenVz was something that required hacked kernels. A better analogy is LXC = Solaris Zones KVM and XEN are hypervisors for virtualization. VirtualBox is a non-hypervisor virtual machine.
- vidarh 13y agoOpenVz is something that requires "hacked kernels" only because the changes were not accepted upstream. I don't think your analogy is any better. We could tack on an " = OpenVz" on there - all three of them are pretty similar.
