why OpenVZ VPS uses less RAM?
Hi,
I don't really ever used OpenVZ VPS , but I got a weird question.
I have a OVZ VPS on hand , installed something like apache + mysql , for same thing I installed on a KVM machine it should at least uses 500MB RAM , but on this OVZ VPS , free -m command shows only used 8 MB RAM.
so what's going on with OVZ?

run netstat -lp to check whether apache and mysql are actually running.
yes , I even placed a demo wordpress on it ...
You seems to forget the shared/buffered/cached memory who's reserved by your processes.
It's in part because OpenVZ containers don't run any kernel processes like KVM or other virtualization platforms and share the same kernel of the host machine. Then, you save some memory with this.
