  • 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).

2000Edit

  • Feb 2000: office at MIPT is established, 5 people started working on the first mockup version of Virtuozzo (namespaces, isolation, vzfs).
