As OpenVZ appears to be dead, does the provider have plans to upgrade to LXC or kvm?

I have an OVZ VPS and it is frustrating when using some scripts. Old kernel.

ask the provider.

I'd probably ask @EthernetServers as they seem to be the largest OpenVZ provider around here

OpenVZ is for noobs

rdes

Virtuzzo Hybrid Server 7 EOL is set on 12/2026, so presumably the same is true for OpenVZ 7.
But as I can see, the free OpenVZ is several months behind Virtuozzo in terms of kernel updates for example. I don't know if it was always like this?

EthernetServers

As @rdes said, OpenVZ 7 has security support until 2026.

The current plan from our end at least is to migrate to OpenVZ 9 before then.

LXC is dead for me.

We are doing KVM only now.

We're completely sunsetting the OVZ line up. We're transitioning our Cheap VPS line to KVM, with upgraded hardware (A mix of E5v4, Scalable, Fast DDR4 and Fast NVMEs) and upgraded network - 10g by default for every new VPS. We've just finalized racking the new hardware this week and next week, we'll switch all new orders to automatically land on the new KVM nodes. All existing clients will be gradually moved over to KVM in the next few months, node by node. My hopes are to shut down the last OVZ node early in 2025. Obviously, all of our current customers will benefit from the upgraded hardware and network. And no price increases or anything like that.

Our High-Performance KVM Line, based on EPYC will receive a revamp as well (we're upgrading some CPUs to more CPU cores) and base VMs will receive a bump in CPU cores (from 1 to 2 or 4, depending on plan). A new line of High Performance EPYC machines will be introduced, with dedicated vcores (threads).

Ryzens are getting a bump do 7000/9000 series at the moment. And 10G.

Premium provider
We'll have to say goodbye to over a year of uptime, but I like KVM more

I asked about kernel updates but remembered OVZ containers dosen’t have their own Kernel

I had a few cheap server upgraded to KVM and another few to be upgraded [hopefully] soon.
