Why do you want to create a KVM on a Solaris server or any other Linux server when you are in need of excellent network performance?
Why not just use a Solaris / SmartOS zone? This sounds to me as “We have a Tesla, but to extend the range we want to develop something that can burn fuels and use that as an engine” Van: Garrett D'Amore [mailto:[email protected]] Verzonden: maandag 15 januari 2018 02:23 Aan: [email protected] Onderwerp: Re: [smartos-discuss] RFD 121 bhyve brand bhyve was superior in performance and licensing so that is why pluribus chose it ages ago. I support making bhyve our hypervisor of choice.

I'm new here and the decision predates my arrival. I'm not steeped in Joyent's success and/or lack thereof with KVM. I can offer little more than the following on this topic: We are in need of a hypervisor that has characteristics that are different than what we have in KVM. As you can see from RFD 114, we are pursuing a GPGPU offering . Coupled with this, we need much better networking performance than what we currently have with KVM. On FreeBSD, bhyve has proven likely to meet our needs. While a more modern KVM implementation may (or may not) provide similar benefits, we are a better fit (license and otherwise) with the bhyve community than the kvm community. This RFD is not about whether we need byve or not, it is about how we will integrate it. Presumably there will be a separate RFD that covers bhyve itself. This is the cart before that horse. smartos-discuss | <https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now> Archives <https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/27966043-4eecc9e4> | <https://www.listbox.com/member/?&;> Modify Your Subscription <http://www.listbox.com> ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/25769125-55cfbc00 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25769125&id_secret=25769125-7688e9fb Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
