Virtuozzo
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

Oracle
Well suited: development work as they provide a very nice free tier, datacenters in Latin America with very low ping, heavy loads for DB if you use Oracle DB Less appropriate: fast webservers as they use hard disks for several tiers, fast MySQL databases as the server is shared, auto-scaling functionality is not present.

Cons
Virtuozzo
  • 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

Oracle
  • Not as flexible as VMware.
  • Could have slightly better templates for provisioning database nodes.
  • In terms of performance it lags a bit behind Red Hat's KVM solution.

Kubernetes and Docker are de-facto standards today, but I think that OpenVZ and Proxmox are better solutions

Oracle
The ease of use on the Oracle platform is greater, flexibility and compatibility also helped in the choice, in addition to the cost-benefit.
