Peter Galli wrote a piece for eWeek entitled Debian Linux Adds OpenVZ Virtualization Software. Here is an obligatory quote:
Asked what the plans are to get the OpenVZ technology into the distributions of the leading Linux vendors Red Hat and Novell's SUSE, Kolyshkin said the OpenVZ patchset has already been provided for the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 kernel and that the SUSE engineers are currently evaluating the technology.I hope Red Hat and SUSE get on board in the not too distant future.
He pointed to comments made earlier this year by Holger Dyroff, vice president of Linux Server product management at Novell, where Dyroff said Novell is committed to bringing the latest advances in virtualization "and will evaluate the technology for possible inclusion in a future release of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10."
Kolyshkin also referenced comments made by Brian Stevens, CTO at Red Hat, in a March Webcast, where he said the company saw a strong use case for lightweight, container-based virtualization and will "get behind that, absolutely."
With regard to the Xen virtualization technology that both Red Hat and SUSE have agreed to include in their distributions, Kolyshkin said they are employing different virtualization approaches that can "happily coexist."
