It was a big successful event for us. I met a lot of people interested in OS-level virtualization we do, talked a lot explaining the inner workings of OpenVZ kernel, did a live demos running about 100 VEs on my ThinkPad laptop, and visited some booths in the dot-org pavillion. I am really unhappy about the fact I have to leave it half an hour to catch the plane back to Moscow.
At the same time, right from the booth, I released yet a few more SUSE 10 kernels, an updated Fedora Core 5 kernel, and filed a few bugs, including one for Fedora Core 5 (#188160).
Finally, it is a great honour that Virtuozzo product received the "Best Virtualization Solution" from the LinuxWorld yesterday!

Full virtualization products like VMWare and MS Virtual Server 2005 really require lots of horse power to run multiple VMs. Even with a powerful machine I don't think you are going to get the same level of performance when running 100 VMs vs 100 VPS.
I'll be curious to see what Xen has in store for us once AMD's Pacifica is released along with the Xen Enterprise product set which, is suppose to provide a management interface for VMs etc. I think having those extra extension sets at the chip level will help both Full & Para virtualization techniques. However, for the time being OpenVZ has convinced me that OS virtualization rocks!
