Revision as of 03:02, 1 April 2015

Here we list major project milestones.

1999

Indeed it was 1999 when our engineers started adding bits and pieces of containers technology to Linux kernel 2.2. Well, not exactly "containers", but rather "virtual environments" at that time -- as it often happens with new technologies, the terminology was different (the term "container" was coined by Sun only five years later, in 2004).

2000

  • Nov, 2000: Limited public beta testing (providing free VEs to people to run their stuff).

2002

  • Jan, 2002: SWsoft (now known as Odin) initially released a product for Linux named Virtuozzo. Their current product is named Virtuozzo. It was Virtuozzo 2.0, went out 10 Jan 2002[1]

2005

  • Virtuozzo for Microsoft Windows was released
  • SWsoft created the OpenVZ Project to release under a GPLv2 license the underlying technology upon which Virtuozzo builds

2006

2007

  • 13 Mar, 2007: Port to RHEL5 kernel [2]

2008

  • 17 Apr, 2008: Rebase to kernel 2.6.25[3]
  • Oct, 2008: OpenVZ ported to ARM (Gumstix Overo). Parallels company is in top 10 Linux kernel contributors with their patches for Linux containers. Our contributions to the kernel at that time was PID, IPC, and network namespaces, with the last one being the biggest.

2011

  • Jul 15, 2011 - Pavel Emelyanov sent initial RFC and code (http://lwn.net/Articles/451916/). The idea of CRIU of course came up earlier when we figured we (or anyone else, for that matter) can't possibly merge in-kernel checkpoint/restore. Re-implementing it in userspace looked crazy for everyone including me, and Andrew Morton's and Linus Torvalds' initial

reaction was similar ("some crazy russians").

2012

2013

2014

  • Nov, 2014 - Parallels announced merging OpenVZ and Parallels Cloud Server into single common open source codebase

2015

  • Apr, 2015 - Parallels company opensources the most components of their own commercial product Virtuozzo (formely know Parallels Cloud Server and Parallels Server Bare Metal)
