Importing a new version from external source
A '''container''' (otherwise known as CT, Virtual Environment (VE), Virtual Private Server (VPS) etc.) is one of the main concepts of OpenVZ.
Container is an isolated entity which performs and executes exactly like a stand-alone server. Container can be rebooted independently and have root access, users/groups, IP address(es), memory, processes, files, applications, system libraries and configuration files.
OpenVZ allows to have multiple CTs (as many as several hundreds) on a single [[Hardware Node]].
{{Note|in this Wiki, terms ''VE'' and ''container'' are used interchangeably. For new articles, ''container'' is the preferred term.}}
If you want to manage your container, you must use its identifer : a ConTainer's IDentifer (CTID).<br />
Please note that a quota ID is not <i>always</i> the same as a CTID
{{Note|in this Wiki, terms ''VEID'' and ''CTID'' are used interchangeably. For new articles, ''CTID'' is the preferable term.}}
<!-- I saw the new usage of CTID in last vzmigrate (2000-2008, Parallels)-->
