RE: FreeBSD on Amazon EC2
borrow that code for what? IMHO xen dom0 is unusable on the linux platform. And btw who wants to operate his 'cloud' on a piece of software that officially is not security patched? I didn't have the chance to test XEN dom0 support under NetBSD, but the combination of XEN and ZFS within Solaris just rocks it all ;-)) Regards, Mr Olli On Tue, 2010-05-04 at 22:13 +0200, Zladivliba Voskuy wrote: > Well, so next question : would it be possible to borrow the > opensolaris code (how about that !) ? > > My (really) 2 cents ;-) > > -- > My dojo & zend framework experience, the good, the bad with code > samples ;-) > http://practicalphpajax.wordpress.com/ > > > > > > Subject: RE: FreeBSD on Amazon EC2 > > From: mister.o...@googlemail.com > > To: g...@omegacube.fr > > CC: nospam...@hotmail.fr; freebsd-xen@freebsd.org > > Date: Tue, 4 May 2010 11:37:51 +0200 > > > > Hi, > > > > btw there is XEN dom0 support in OpenSolaris.

Hi, btw there is XEN dom0 support in OpenSolaris. They ported the same management tools (xm/ libvirt/ ...) and its working really stable for me.

Re: FreeBSD on Amazon EC2
Eh Xen 4.0 is out. It will be easier for maintainers to include Xen Dom0 support when pv_ops hits kernel.org. Which hopefully wont be too long.

RE: FreeBSD on Amazon EC2
I agree but I think the major problem is that all the Linux distributions are abandoning Xen because of its difficulty to maintain. (I fear especially for Debian which is the main interesting distrib for Xen dom0) For now the only OS who is maintaining Xen as Dom0 is NetBSD and its not so great by my humble opinion. So maybe it would be a good thing to look at alternatives to Xen or patiently wait for Xen 4.0 :( Cordialement, Guillaume Seigneuret logo_625x333 Network and System Security Architect Web : <http://www.omegacube.fr> http://www.omegacube.fr Address : Hôtel Technologique - BP 100 Technopôle de Château Gombert 13382 Marseille Cedex 13 De : Zladivliba Voskuy [mailto:nospam...@hotmail.fr] Envoyé : lundi 3 mai 2010 19:54 À : g...@omegacube.fr Cc : freebsd-xen@freebsd.org Objet : RE: FreeBSD on Amazon EC2 Thanks for your interesting view on the subject.

RE: FreeBSD on Amazon EC2
Thanks for your interesting view on the subject. Yes I guess I too, would really love to hear from a FreeBSD developer on this matter. It would be great to have at least a 386 version working so some of us could put it on ec2 and start with some feedback.

RE: FreeBSD on Amazon EC2
Dear Zlabivliba, I think it's going to take a while for FreeBSD to perfectly work as a paravirtualized DomU. SMP doesn't work, there is no AMD64 kernel available, and the stability has to be improved under heavy load. I guess the first work will be done on the stability of the virtualized OS and then some new feature will appear. Maybe a FreeBSD developer could tell us about this but I also guess this is not a priority since they added FreeBSD jails.

RE: FreeBSD on Amazon EC2
For the moment FreeBSD is not stable as a paravirtualized DomU. I test it for a while and it crashes under heavy load. If you need to test it, I'm sure it'll work on Amazon EC2 patform but don't expect have it as a stable production environment.
