Revision as of 00:20, 23 April 2015

Here we list major project milestones.

1999

  • Nov 1999: Alexander Tormasov visited Singapore and proposed a new direction to Sergey Beloussov: container virtualization. He formulated three main components: containers as a set of processes with namespace isolation, file system to share code/ram and isolation in resources.

  • 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).

    —Kir Kolyshkin, http://openvz.livejournal.com/49158.html

2000

  • Feb 2000: office at MIPT is established, 5 people started working on the first mockup version of Virtuozzo (namespaces, isolation, vzfs).
  • Jul 2000: limited public beta testing: two public servers (Virtuozzo 0.1 and control panels), 5000 VEs during summer

2001

  • Dec 2001: Virtuozzo for Windows project started

2005

  • 2005: SWsoft created the OpenVZ Project to release the core of Virtuozzo under GNU GPL. [3]
  • 2005: SWsoft acquired a hosting/development company "Express" with their own containers for FreeBSD (it was later dropped due to small number of clients).

2006

  • Aug 2006: OpenVZ is available in Debian Linux [4]
  • Aug 2006: OpenVZ rebased to RHEL 4 kernel [5]
  • Oct 2006: OpenVZ ported to SPARC[6] and PPC[7]

2008

  • Apr 2008: Rebase to kernel 2.6.25[10]

2011

  • Jul 2011: Pavel Emelyanov sent initial RFC and code[13]. 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").
