OpenVZ is a project that combines the following container virtualization technologies for Linux: Virtuozzo kernel, a Linux kernel with patches that implements OpenVZ kernel functionality. Management utilities, such as vzctl, for managing container life cycle. Checkpoint/Restore In Userspace, or CRIU, is a software tool for Linux that enables you to freeze a running application (or a 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. Ploop is a disk loopback block device, not unlike loop but with many features like dynamic resize, snapshots, backups etc. The main idea is to put container filesystem in a file. P.Haul is the project on top of CRIU that implements the live migration usage scenario. LibCT is a container management library that provides a convenient API for front-end programs for managing the entire container life cycle. VCMMD is a Virtuozzo Containers memory management daemon. Upstream technology to manage containers memory.  OpenVZ is free open source software, available under GNU GPL or compatible licenses. Virtuozzo is a Linux distribution based on OpenVZ components. OpenVZ uses GIT for source control. Attention: we use different workflows for userspace and kernel patches. More... Benefits 100% Free Software (GPL), no royalties, no license fees!
