Parallels to merge OpenVZ and Cloud Server
Parallels has announced that it will
be merging its open-source OpenVZ and proprietary Parallels Cloud Server
projects. "Now it's time to admit -- over the course of years OpenVZ
became just a little bit too separate, essentially becoming a fork (perhaps
even a stepchild) of Parallels Cloud Server. While the kernel is the same
between two of them, userspace tools (notably vzctl) differ. This results
in slight incompatiblities between the configuration files, command line
options etc. More to say, userspace development efforts need to be
doubled." The result of the merger will be open source; the name will be
"Virtuozzo Core."
