Virtuozzo 7 Beta

This Virtuozzo 7.0 Beta offers the following major improvements:

• Unified management of containers and KVM virtual machines with the prlctl tool and SDK. You get a single universal toolset for all CT/VM management needs.

• Autoballooning and kernel same-page merging that allows overcommitting memory resources in the smartest way possible with an insignificant impact on customer workloads.

• Memory hotplugging for containers and VMs that allows both increasing and reducing CT/VM memory size on the fly, without the need to reboot. Your customers can now scale their workloads without any downtime. This feature also enables you to make PAYG offerings, allowing customers to change VM resources depending on workload and potentially pay less.

• Memory guarantees for both containers and virtual machines.

• Ability to manage containers and VMs with libvirt and virt-manager. If you used to manage VMs with libvirt, you can do it in Virtuozzo in absolutely the same way.

• Guest tools for Windows and Linux VMs.

Kernel RHEL5 stable 028stab120.1

• Rebase to RHEL5 kernel 2.6.32-408.el5
• A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's networking implementation handled UDP packets with incorrect checksum values. A remote attacker could potentially use this flaw to trigger an infinite loop in the kernel, resulting in a denial of service on the system, or cause a denial of service in applications using the edge triggered epoll functionality (CVE-2015-5364, CVE-2015-5366)
