Hi there,

Is there a mailinglist about bhyve the upcoming FreeBSD Hypervisor somewhere available?

Too bad they chose a name that's already taken by a commercial company.

Here's some info about the talk from DevSummit:

Yeah, they should rename it. I already have the whitepaper. That's the reason why I'm interested.

Cheers
Darko

Yeah, I expected that :e

Looking at the list of mailinglists I'm guessing freebsd-virtualization might be a good candidate.

This list should be only for the virtual network-stack on FreeBSD.
They have to fix the current five issues. One part to make FreeBSD ready as an OS for the cloud.

I'm currently working on Cloudstack and offering FreeBSD instances just in time. When I've finished it, anyone could rent FreeBSD-Boxes per hour.

 

[DutchDaemon]

Maybe they should call it the Hypevisor

 

[Jurgen]

Or MINION.

I vote for adhd:

Asynchronous
Data
Hyper-Deduplication

Perhaps sysadmins hope the cloud is mostly hype. If it really catches on, many sysadmin jobs might be consolidated.

 

[pelmen]

someone understood what was meant by

FreeBSD virtio block and net drivers
–  Not publicly available under a BSD license

what is the product can do without these drivers?

 

[minimike]

Someone has tested it on FreeBSD 8 stable? Thats what I'm currently running on my boxes
