You seemed to have heard incorrectly. There is little to no issues overcommiting CPU's in bhyve, I have a 2 core, 4 thread system with 6 VM's, each vm using 1 vCPU, this is a 50% overcommit and it my base line load. No I have not. As far as you stick with 1 vCPU per virtual host, you

It is all a mater of Load, as long as your host load stays below the number of CPU threads you actually have things in this aspect tend to work just fine. And if you do exceed this everyone slows down in a fairly fair fashion. well virtualisation is used for a lot of things but if you want to

 So if one guest launch a lot of cpu hungry thread it could "starve" the others guests with less thread usgin cpu time. As far as what I heard here on this forum, you should NOT overcommit the vCPUs. When you keep the number of vCPUs assigned to your vms lower than physical CPUs (=

In Xen there is a maxvcpus which limit the number of CPUs but they could baloon down if not busy so that other clients who are busy can use the CPUs. In bhyve (at least in vm-bhyve) there is only a cpus line in the config. >Is this a minimum, maximum or is it a hard limit? This is the

Greetings. I have just recently started using bhyve (previously a Xen user). I am using vm-bhyve to manage it. I have a few questions. First question, am I making the right choice by switching and, if so, is bhyve the right choice to switch to? I realize that that is an impossible question
