This article curiously fails to mention Linux VServer http://linux-vserver.org/ http://linux-vserver.org/ which has done this since 2003 and unlike Virtuozzo has always been completely open source. We've used it with great success in a hosting product.
- ghaff 13y agoI probably should have mentioned it. Virtuozzo was much higher profile at the time I was closely following various workload separation technologies--in part because it was making a serious attempt to position itself as an alternative to VMware in the enterprise space. (Something it ultimately failed to do although it continued to enjoy considerable success in hosting.) The fact is that there have been lots of different isolation approaches, including OS virtualization, and Virtuozzo's implementation of OS virtualization--while hardly unique--was the best known along with Solaris Containers.
- cbsmith 13y agoIt also didn't mention OpenVZ by name. Honestly, ever since OpenVZ came out, I haven't felt like the case for using VServer was terribly strong.
