    Okay, now I am considering to run a small Cluster (a group of 2 or 3 VPS) for my coming postgresql servers.

    With reference to today's hardware price, I need to squeeze my cost to the lowest. So, I consider to buy several VPS built on OpenVZ. I heard that OpenVZ VPS is cheaper and faster than KVM VPS.

    Now, my questions are:
    1. Can I choose Ubuntu as the OpenVZ VPS's OS?
    2. Can I install Docker inside this OpenVZ VPS?
    Yours faithfully. :rolleyes:

    I think it depends a lot on the OpenVZ version and what is enabled by your VPS provider. So #1 answer - usually yes. However, #2 answer will depends on OpenVZ version, I think generally no for 6 and below because lack of many things, but usually yes for 7, if it is enabled by your VPS provider.
