OpenVZ News
Linux Symposium 2009
Montreal, Canada, July 13-17 2009 It’s a third time OpenVZ takes part in Linux Symposium, and a first time it’s being held in Montreal! The project will present a tutorial on installing/using OpenVZ, and a BoF for OpenVZ users and developers.
plone vs. mediawiki
I promised to write more non-OpenVZ specific stuff. Here we go. About 3 years ago I wrote about my experiences with Plone and Mediawiki. I just reread it this morning because someone left a comment there and it went into my email. So I briefly visited plone.org to see what are they up to. Insteresting, [...]
Fear no KLOC
From time to time, somebody critisizes OpenVZ kernel patch for its intrusiveness and size. Right, it is big and intrusive — it adds a whole lot of new features into the kernel. But how big is it? Our engineer prepared some stats on three different kernels:1. OpenVZ stable kernel (based on 2.6.18-RHEL5);2. OpenVZ development kernel [...]
live from SCALE7x
Greetings from SCALE7x! Today will be the second (and the last) day of the show. Yesterday I did a presentation titled “Recent Advances in the Linux Kernel resource management”. The scope of the talk is much more technical and narrow than my usual talk about containers. More to say, I was focusing more on mainstream [...]
if (time() == 1234567890) celebrate();
Disclaimer:This post is not really related to OpenVZ, but who cares? I don’t… So from now on I will be writing more here, on just about everything. In UNIX systems, system time is accounted as a number of seconds since so-called “UNIX epoch” — 1 January 1970 00:00:00 UTC. This number of seconds is returned [...]
Getting ready for SCALE7x
In about a week I will be in Los Angeles for the annual Southern California Linux Expo, a.k.a. SCALE. It is quite a big event. Well, not quite as big as LinuxWorld or Linux Symposium, but still big enough and growing bigger each year. I’d like to say this conference is of good spirit, whatever [...]
‘dab’ Debian/Ubuntu Appliance Builder released!
We just published our Debian/Ubuntu appliance builder for OpenVZ (of course perfectly usable on Proxmox VE). Short description Creating high quality appliances is a difficult task and requires deep knowledge of the underlying operating system. So we created the ‘Debian Appliance Builder’ to simplify that task. ‘dab’ is a script to automate the creation of [...]
Southern California Linux Expo 2008
Los Angeles, USA, February 20-22, 2009 OpenVZ project will have a booth, plus Kir Kolyshking will deliver a talk titled “Recent Advances in the Linux Kernel Resource Management”
2.6.27 kernel and Russian painters
A new 2.6.27-based OpenVZ branch is opened, and the first 2.6.27-based OpenVZ is released. An idea of using names instead of numbers for kernel releases is working for 2.6.26, and we decided to have some fun with 2.6.27 kernels, too. These kernels are [to be] named after famous Russian painters, of course in the alphabetical [...]
New year, new stuff
Consider this as a new year gifts from Father Frost, or Dad Moroz, or Santa Clous, or me, if you so prefer. First gift is a new fresh set of precreated templates, which spent quite some time in beta before. Those are the same templates, but updated couple of days ago, plus there is Ubuntu-8.10 [...]
