That was the second remark :)
However, RSes can be run in VMs, the only question is about RIB size and
updates rate.

I completely agree. I wouldn’t try to rely on something as shady as
virtualisation “HA” when something as simple as iBGP and VRRP is
available. I would even try to put my routers outside of any VM.

Hi.
You would not install single bird instance on vmware HA cluster since
you'll get sessions flaps when instance restart on falures. Right way is
to run two different instances on different cluster nodes with HA
deactivated for these instances and setup sessions from each bird instance.

Hi,
I have one global operator and one IX via BGP and I'm wondering
whether to set up one bird VM based on vmware HA cluster or two bird
VMs without vmware HA cluster but located on separate nodes and
connected via iBGP.
Of course, the iBGP connection allows for easy bird/VM updates but may
generate potential problems with iBGP and VRRP. However, if there is
one bird VM based on the vmware HA cluster, then in the event of a
node failure, it is necessary to wait until the machine is restarted
on the second node and until the prefixes from peers are loaded.
What are your experiences with this?
Thanks in advance,
Mike
