<p>During BSDCan 2016, Microsoft <a
href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/freebsd-now-available-in-azure-marketplace/">announced</a>
the global availability of FreeBSD 10.3 images in Azure.
There are many FreeBSD-based Azure virtual appliances in the
Azure Marketplace, including Citrix Systems' NetScaler and
Netgate's pfSense. Microsoft also made an in-depth technical
presentation to introduce how the performance of the Hyper-V
network device driver was optimized to reach full line rate on
10Gb networks and achieved decent performance on 40Gb
networks. The slides and video from the presentation are
available from the <a
href="http://www.bsdcan.org/2016/schedule/events/681.en.html">BSDCan website</a>.</p>
<p>Microsoft continues to strive to further optimize the
performance of Hyper-V network and storage device drivers.
Work is ongoing to replace the internal data structure in the
LRO kernel API from a singly-linked list to a double-linked
list, to speed up the LRO lookup by hash table, and to compare
the performance with <tt>tcp_lro_queue_mbuf()</tt>.</p>
<p>The handling of SCSI inquiry in the Hyper-V storage driver is
enhanced to make sure disk hotplug and <tt>smartctl(8)</tt>
work reliably. Refer to <a
href="https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=210425">PR 210425</a>
and <a
href="https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=209443">PR 209443</a>
for details.</p>
<p>BIS test cases are available on GitHub for <a
href="https://github.com/FreeBSDonHyper-V/Test-BIS">Hyper-V</a>
and for <a
href="https://github.com/FreeBSDonHyper-V/azure-freebsd-automation">Azure</a>.</p>
