+=========
+
+Virtuozzo, or its community edition OpenVZ, provides both types of
+virtualization: Kernel Virtual Machines and OS Containers. The type
+of instance to span is chosen depending on the ``hw_vm_type``
+property of an image.
+
+.. note::
+
+   Some OpenStack Compute features may be missing when running with
+   Virtuozzo as the hypervisor. See the `hypervisor support matrix
+   <http://wiki.openstack.org/HypervisorSupportMatrix>`_ for details.
+
+To enable Virtuozzo Containers, set the following options in
+``/etc/nova/nova.conf`` on all hosts running the ``nova-compute``
+service.
