An interesting bit of news on the wire this morning. Apparently OpenVZ is being integrated with the Fedora distribution and RedHat is assisting with the push to try and include OpenVZ in the standard kernel as well.
While OpenVZ is a long way from being in everyone’s kernels it will be fantastic to see one of the container style virtualization solutions in the kernel (OpenVZ or Linux-VServers).
Read the original article on ZDNet – Companies push Linux partitioning effort.
ZDNet also mentions the possibility of combining the virtualization styles of containers and hypervisors. I have always been a big fan of this idea.
