Is it possible to migrate a byve freebsd instance/image to Azure? Or
does one have to have the instance initially provisioned via their
marketplace?
bhyve does not participate in the virtualbox/vmware/etc ecosystem where
"appliances" in the form of "open virtualization format" files can be
exported and imported. this in turn means that you would have to
manually control the parameters of an azure instance to be sure that it
can contain your existing system image.
i would expect you to use dump | restore, or zfs dump | zfs restore, to
move a system image from one container strategy (or bare metal) to
another (such as azure), after first booting a rescue image inside the
destination container. you'd then fine-tune your /etc/rc.conf file to
have whatever settings were appropriate for the new container.
i know that's somewhat old school, but, that's one reason to love bhyve.
