Roadmap for CL6
Is there any road map for CL6? Are you waiting for release of CentOS6? Is OpenVZ going to be working in initial release? I'm really looking forward to that feature. How would it work and what about the licensing?
We are waiting for OpenVZ to finish 2.6.32 kernel. We should release shortly after they stabilize it.
The CL inside VZ should be available within 3-4 months after that -- if everything goes according to plan.

Do you mean RHEL6 branch?
What I mean:
Before CloudLinux 6.0 will be released OpenVZ kernel for 2.6.32 has to become stable (so we are waiting on OpenVZ team)
For people who wants to run CloudLinux inside VZ/OpenVZ -- it will take ~3-4 months after we release CL 6.0 for that to happen.

Almost there http://wiki.openvz.org/Download/kernel/rhel6/042test009.2 smile:D

little irrelevant, CL (5.x, 6.x) is pulling updates directly from RHEL stream ?
Or you use other upstream ? (Centos, SL)
Just to calculate the update delay on parsing new packages and updates smile:oops:
Yep, we are waiting for it to stabilize to release CL6. As soon as that is done, we will start working again on our kernel inside VZ (for CL6 only)
Regarding packages: We get everything from RHEL sources, except kernel. Usually we will release our updated before CentOS.

Kernel we get from openvz.
I know it's rude but sneaking around I saw a CL 6.0 ISO. (sorry smile:oops: )

Would be there any chance to migrate from 5.x to 6.0
easily (or not) or it should be avoided ?
Migration from 5.x to 6.x -- don't know, we haven't tried it yet. I hope it is easier then it was migrating from 4.x to 5.x

The ISO is there, the kernel is not. I hope to have some early beta kernel within 2 weeks.
Great to hear that - can't wait to see it!
Have you thought about licensing for OpenVZ host + containers? I think that it would be nice to have similar licensing as RHEL EV - 1host license + X VM's (containers in this case).

I'd probably need the most 1:1 license, this means 1 host with one big CL container, that way you can deploy non-CL containers next to it.
Yes, once we have support for OpenVZ/Virtuozzo -- we might have special licensing for them. Note -- CL inside OpenVZ/Virtuozzo will probably never work as well as inside xen/vmware/kvm or on dedicated servers.
It is related to the fact that we would be sitting inside VZ scheduler, on a 3rd level -- and it is not clear at all how to make it efficient/working as well as when it is CL native kernel.
When will CloudLinux 6 become available to use and purchase?
Since RHEL6 openvz kernel is in beta and is almost stable, I'd like to ask what's the progress of work on CL6, since I'm actually waiting with deploying new systems till it comes out.
Would be great if you could do an online upgrade from 5.x to 6.x. smile;)

It would not ba a wise thing to do... Especially without supervision.

Anyhow it seams that the rebuild of CL 6 is ready, but we're waiting for the kernel.
There are a few scripts to migrate from RHEL4 to RHEL5 changing
a series of RPMs with a specific order to make it work.

Is there a chance to see something similar for CL5 > CL6.1 ?

Or by nature isn't possible ?
