Virtuozzo ecosystem
Sorted in alphabetically order.
Contents
API
- LibCT - Linux containers control plane.
- Parallels SDK - Parallels Virtualization SDK is a development kit used to create and integrate custom software solutions with Parallels Cloud Server. The SDK provides cross-platform ANSI C and Python APIs.
- LibVirt: there are two different drivers: driver with support of Parallels Hypervisor, works via Parallels SDK, and driver with support of OpenVZ containers.
- OpenVZ containers API for Ruby, sources
Configuration management
CT/VM management
- Docker: Docker inside VZ containers, Docker manage VZ containers via LibCT (see LibCT)
- Cobbler - is a Linux installation server that allows for rapid setup of network installation environments.
- Webmin plugin - is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix.
- Quattor - a system administration toolkit providing a powerful, portable, and modular set of tools for the automated installation, configuration, and management of clusters, farms, grids and clouds. See slides.
- Cloudmin - an UI built on top of Webmin for managing virtual systems, such as Xen, KVM and OpenVZ instances.
- SolusVM (Solus Virtual Manager) is a powerful GUI based VPS management system with full OpenVZ, Linux KVM, Xen Paravirtualization and Xen HVM support.
- Fabric - library and command-line tool for streamlining the use of SSH for application deployment or systems administration tasks.
- Archipel is a solution to manage and supervise virtual machines. It works using LibVirt, so you can easily use it with OpenVZ-legacy as well as Virtuozzo.

Maintenance (migration, backup)
- CRIU (Checkpoint and Restore in Userspace) - software tool for Linux operating system. Using this tool, you can freeze a running application (or part of it) and checkpoint it to a hard drive as a collection of files. You can then use the files to restore and run the application from the point it was frozen at. The distinctive feature of the CRIU project is that it is mainly implemented in user space.
- Plan B - fast OpenVZ backups. Source code: https://github.com/gcoop-libre/plan-b. Slides "plan-b - fast OpenVZ backups".
- KernelCare - rebootless kernel updates (OpenVZ and Virtuozzo).
== Mobile apps (Android/iPhone)
- OpenVZ Remote iTunes Store
Network
- Open vSwitch (OpenVZ requires patch)
- Shorewall - is a gateway/firewall configuration tool for GNU/Linux.
OpenVZ-based Linux distros
- Cloud Linux - Linux distro providing LVE (Lightweight Virtual Environments).
- OWL (OpenWall Linux) - is a small security-enhanced Linux distribution for servers, appliances, and virtual appliances.
- Proxmox - provides an open source server virtualization management solution supporting both KVM and container-virtualization.
- XtreemOS - is a grid operating system based on Linux.
- OpenNode - lightweight bare-metal cloud OS combining Linux Containers and KVM full virtualization options into payload optimized solution. Source code
- ALT Linux supports OpenVZ kernel package and a quarterly-updated OpenVZ HN server installer as well as container templates and tools to make customized installers/templates.
