== Components ==<!--T:3-->

* Management utilities, such as [[Download/vzctlCRIU|vzctl]], for managing container life cycle.* [http://criu.org/ 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.

* [http://criu.org/P.Haul [P.Haul]] is the project on top of CRIU that imple- ments 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.

* [https://src.openvz.org/projects/OVZ/repos/libprlsdk/browse [Libprlsdk|Virtuozzo SDK] ] is our own API to manage virtual machines and containers with Python bindings.* and [[:Category:Sub-projects | other components]]
