Hello All,
OpenVZ 6 in the past was a very popular technology
for creating OS-level virtualization containers.
But OpenVZ 6 is EOL now (because RHEL 6 / CentOS 6 is EOL)
and all OpenVZ 6 users should migrate to some alternatives.
I found only two possible free/open source alternatives for OpenVZ 6:
- LXC
- systemd-nspawn
Does anyone use LXC and/or systemd-nspawn
containers on RHEL 8 / CentOS 8 for production?
What are advantages and disadvantages of each of these technologies?
Can you share your experience with LXC and/or systemd-nspawn
for RHEL 8 / CentOS 8 operating system on the hardware node?
============================================================
As I understand, LXC is not supported by Red Hat and it should be used
on RHEL at its own risk?
But, as I understand from the articles
- https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1533893
- https://access.redhat.com/articles/2726611
systemd-nspawn is also not supported by Red Hat and should be used at
its own risk?
So, between LXC and systemd-nspawn is there no difference despite
what systemd-nspawn is the part of the RHEL 8 operating system
and can be installed on the RHEL 8 from the BaseOS repo?
Are there any chances that the situation with support for systemd-nspawn
will change in the future and this OS-level virtualization technology
will become fully supported in the RHEL 8.x or the RHEL 9.x version?

Gena
