I've thought of running something similar, yet when I look into the EC2 pricing the costs run up too high. Especially if I include use of bandwidth.

I was able to copy-paste the instructions exactly and get this working.  Note that you will have to "vzctl start 101" before "vzctl enter 101". Also, this works only with CentOS 5.6 with PV Grub - I couldn't get it running on a CentOS 6 image. Excellent work, thanks for this write-up.

Actually, we've moved to CentOS 6.0 because of zero swap in older OpenVZ kernels. Pretty heavy stuff like MongoDB/elasticsearch just failed to run on 5.6 no matter how hard we played with container configuration. New RHEL6 based OpenVZ kernel has new memory model, and our infrastructure works like a charm.  <code> http://wiki.openvz.org/VSwap </code> Configuration on CentOS6 is even simpler, because you don't have to install special kernel with XEN enabled, as of RHEL6 it's enabled by default, it looks something like this wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/openvz.repo http://download.openvz.org/openvz.reporpm rpm --import http://download.openvz.org/RPM-GPG-Key-OpenVZ  yum --enablerepo=openvz-kernel-rhel6 -y install vzkernel.x86_64 vzkernel-devel.x86_64 vzctl.x86_64 vzquota.x86_64 Another tip is that you should make sure that installer will add a valid record into <code>/boot/grub/menu.lst</code>  because it fails to do so sometimes Thanks for update!

Configuration on CentOS6 is even simpler, because you don’t have to install special kernel with XEN enabled, as of RHEL6 it’s enabled by default, it looks something like this

wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/openvz.repo http://download.openvz.org/openvz.reporpm
rpm –import http://download.openvz.org/RPM-GPG-Key-OpenVZ
