i agree with most of bodhi's points especially with lack of documentation and questions about security. the lack of migration tools and setup scripts seem like a trivial issue. anyone wishing to implement anything in a production environment at this stage in infancy (well, 1 1/2 years) would be insane and should be fired. it seems like lxc was originally designed particularly for process and resource containment whereas implementing full systems appears to be a residual benefit. what i like about openvz is the ability to virtualize the nics, but i could never get it to install correctly. in lxc's defense, openvz's documentation could use a little updating.
i am treating this as an excercise in learning about os virtualization on home equipment, but mainly because i find automounting encrypted disks on the host machine prohibitive. if i had a management system that does it in a guest environment, even better.
