<p><tt>bhyve</tt> is a hypervisor that runs on the &os;/amd64
platform. At present, it runs &os; (8.x or later), Linux
i386/x64, OpenBSD i386/amd64, NetBSD/amd64, Illumos, and Windows
Vista/7/8/10/2008r2/2012r2/2016 x64 guests. Current development
is focused on enabling additional guest operating systems and
implementing features found in other hypervisors.</p>
<p>A combined <tt>bhyve</tt> and ZFS BoF was held during vBSDCon 2015,
hosted by Michael Dexter and Allan Jude. Questions asked about
<tt>bhyve</tt> were live migration and suspend/resume support, and
configurations using ZFS.</p>
<p>Three bhyve-related project were selected for GSoC 2015:
NE2000 device emulation, porting <tt>bhyve</tt> to ARM, and
ptnetmap support.</p>
<p>The major enhancement for <tt>bhyve</tt> this quarter was
support for an external firmware, along with a port of the Intel
edk2 UEFI firmware. This allows bhyve to run Windows in headless
mode, and also Illumos.</p>
