Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to download an OS template that we can use to quickly create a VPS container that is using CentOS, Fedora, Scientific Linux, SUSE, Debian, or Ubuntu. We also learned how to use the vzctl create command to create a VPS container on the node.

Finally, we learned about the vzlist command that can list the VPS containers that are created on the server and also learned about the vzctl command that we use to change settings from the containers configuration file, including starting the container on node boot; how to set the hostname, IP address, name server; and changing the root password.

In the next chapter, we will learn how to start, stop, suspend, and resume containers. We will also learn how to destroy, mount, and unmount containers; set file and disk quotas for containers; and create snapshots of containers in order to back up, restore, or migrate a container to another server.
