OpenVZ 6 EOL soon. Is everyone prepared?

December has arrived. OpenVZ 6 is officially dead.

VirMach moved me to KVM. 384MB, $4 per year.
Control panel has ISO install, but only Debian works with “low memory” mode. Ubuntu won’t work from ISO because of insufficient memory.

SecureDragon is stuck at OpenVZ 6.
They want to borrow hardware from data center to avoid shipping new machines. Not wanting to ship new machines implies the growth is slow.
My plan is 64MB, $4.99 per year. It’s been idling for many months. I’m thinking about canceling.

Yeah, not so good for a respected provider

But they're not the only provider still running OVZ6

Does OpenVZ 7 have all vz6 commands? like vzlist? or do you guys depend on solusvm or virtuozzo?

Yes it does have vzlist and others.

afaik the only missing utility from OpenVZ 7 is vzdump, but then again vzdump wasn't 100% from OpenVZ, iirc it was from the Proxmox team way back (seems to still be present in Proxmox today)

Great, last time I tried it was missing, now it's time to upgrade.

Nice to see the 7 has all commands now, I think vzdump is a waste of time for me at least.
