Ethernet Servers is a very stable and excellent provider. If you need one go for it
Hi.. Do you have something more substantial ?
4/8vCPU 8/16Gn RAM ?
Ahhh I want KVM
What are the practical differences between OpenVZ and KVM?
Bandwidth is too small
I can change kernel under KVM, it is a full virtualization compares to kernel virtualizations OVZ/LXC.
With KVM, you can install your distro of choice, and secure it properly.
With OpenVZ, you're limited to whatever templates they have that have been bodged together to work with the shared kernel. And you cannot add kernel parameters to secure your system and improve performance and improve reliability.
Also, there are theoretical exploits to OpenVZ for users to be able to escape their little sandbox and see other users' files, as it's all just files on the host filesystem (which also means that a nefarious admin can trivially see everything on your server without you having any idea of that, whereas KVM they either need to duplicate your disk and boot with that attached or they need to restart your VM for the same effect). I don't know if these exploits are actually actively exploited as I do not follow that technology closely anymore...
Why don't I follow OpenVZ anymore? Because it's effectively dead. Their latest kernel is based on Linux Kernel 2.6.32 and was released in June 2020. Almost all of my KVM VPSes that I have run on 5.14.21 (that's what my distro of choice has shipped for a couple of releases now), while the ones I use hardest are on 6.6.x (depending on their update/reboot policies... I have one on 6.6.10 right now... which is precisely one behind upstream as of this moment). Realistically, this means a lot of modern software will attempt to use features that are only in newer kernels: 2.6.32 went EOL 8 years ago (Feb 2016). Nevermind the various security flaws discovered in the past decade that almost certainly have not been fully patched in the OpenVZ kernels.
Providers continuing to offer OpenVZ instead of some modern containerized approach are doing their clueless customers a disservice on many fronts. From security to functionality. But hey the customer's always right, right? And they're demanding OpenVZ. So gotta offer them the shitty stuff they ask for rather than try to find a better answer that's not past its shelf life! -.-
@lewellyn Why is the customer demanding OpenVZ?
Kernel 2.6.32 is OpenVZ 6, not 7.
And EthernetServers uses kernel 4.19.
I wouldn't know. Ask them.
Nothing in their wiki indicates a newer version than 2.6.32 is available that I see, not even the versions on the main page: https://wiki.openvz.org/Main_Page
Also, I'm not saying EthernetServers is wrong or that the offer sucks or anything like that. That pricing is attractive and I've heard good things about them. I'm saying the customers wanting OpenVZ in 2024 are in the wrong, not the providers catering to demand.
https://wiki.openvz.org/Releases
OpenVZ 6 died in 2019.
OpenVZ 7 will be dead within a half year due to EOL of RHEL7, but not now.
Huh good to know, I guess. Weird that the software releases sidebar and their Kernels page don't mention anything about OpenVZ 7 even existing tho.
Yeah OpenVZ is dead in my opinion, LXC/D is much better and better supported.
