Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using OpenVZ for our testing and development purposes. We have several websites that run on OpenVZ containers. It is also used bt our development teams for their proof-of-concept and testing projects.

Pros

It is container-based virtualization
It is not resource-heavy
It is better then KVM

Cons

Since it is a container-based solution, you can't run any other OS, except for Linux
It is not so popular as Docker, but it's not that bad

Likelihood to Recommend

If you are considering to use Docker and Kubernetes then you can give a try to OpenVZ and Proxmox. It is a good alternative and it is as good as Docker and Kubernetes
