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.

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

    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?

    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.

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

    NatVPS: Migration to KVM virtualization

    Embracing KVM: A Leap Forward for Your Hosting Experience!

    We're thrilled to announce that we're transitioning our hosting platform from OpenVZ-7 to KVM virtualization. This significant upgrade will bring a host of benefits to your hosting experience.

    The reason for this migration is not only the numerous benefits of KVM virtualization but also the fact that OpenVZ-7 is no longer maintained and is practically an End-Of-Life platform. As you probably have experienced, we have had numerous issues with OpenVZ virtualization platform which include but not limited to: frequent VM corruption, IPv6 connectivity issues, broken server rebuilds, limited client side controls, ... . Migration to KVM virtualization will provide a stable platform that not only resolves the aforementioned issues but also in conjunction with much more modern VirtFusion control panel, provides a feature-rich interface that provides access to a plethora of features including superior performance due to direct hardware access and minimal overhead, much more secure servers because of isolated kernels, complete server monitoring and statistics interface, domain/port forwarding, IPv6 address management, hostname control, ... .

    As part of this migration process, a number of changes will be applied:

    • All the current OpenVZ-7 services will be transitioned to KVM virtualization.
    • All the clients with 128MB RAM services will be migrated to 256MB RAM service for free.
    • Some locations will need to be discontinued because of feasibility concerns as KVM virtualization takes much more resources. These locations include: South Africa, Chile, Hong Kong, Poland, and Switzerland. The active services in these locations will be recreated on one of our other locations.
    • Los Angeles & New York will be consolidated to a single location within US for feasibility.
    • Clients will get at least 10 days to move their data or make backups of them.

    Estimated start date for KVM plans implementation: 4th October 2024
    Estimated finish date: 20th November 2024

    We're committed to providing you with the best possible hosting experience, and this transition to KVM is a major step in that direction. More details and exact schedule for each location will be communicated later on.

    Best regards,
    NatVPS Support Team

    @LiteServer What's about you, why you don't move for free like NATVPS ??!!

  • JencyJency Member

    It’s better if the provider upgrades to KVM or LXC, You might want to ask them directly if they plan to move or offer KVM options.
