Hello fellas,
I'm considering to implement some Gentoo Servers on top of VMWare vSphere ESXi.
But perhaps this is not the best option.
I was googling about performance issues in this scenario and started to
consider some OS-Level VT, like OpenVZ or Linux-vserver, or whatever else.
Linux-vserver is not real virtualization, it's more like a super-chroot.
+ It's very fast (host and guest performances are the same)
+ permit (ro)bind mounts
+ very easy iptables configuration for nat and firewalling
+ has deduplication, useful if many similar vs are involved (never used
it tough)
+ it's very well mantained, often new versions are out minutes after the
vanilla kernel ones
- networking is less isolated, changes need stopping the vs.
- it's a kernel patch, applying other patches (hardened) is a pain
So I'm here to ask some opinions about virtualization.
My restricted set of rules (LOL):
1. I will not run anything else than Linux.
2. I don't care about GPL, BSD, Icecream, Bacon, or whatever license, since
it's free, it's fine.
3. Don't need to be an Opensource solution.
Thanks for any help,
