bhyve 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, and NetBSD/amd64 guests. Current + development is focused on enabling additional guest operating + systems and implementing features found in other hypervisors.

+ +

Support for AMD processors was committed to -CURRENT in + October 2014. This has also been merged to 10-STABLE and will be + included in the 10.2 release.

+ +

A bhyve status update presentation was done at the FreeBSD + Vendor Summit in Nov 2014. The slides are available at + http://people.freebsd.org/~neel/bhyve/bhyve_update_vendor_summit_2014.pdf.

+ +

A number of improvements have been made to bhyve this quarter:

+ + + + + + + +

Improve documentation.

+ + + +

bhyveucl is a script for starting bhyve instances based + on a libUCL config file. More information at https://github.com/allanjude/bhyveucl.

+ + + +

CSM BIOS boot support for non UEFI-aware guests.

+ + + +

Add support for virtio-scsi.

+ + + +

Improve virtio-net, add offload features, support multiple + queues.

+ + + +

Implement Intel 82580 and e1000 NIC emulation.

+ + + +

Netmap support.

+ + + +

Flexible networking backend: wanproxy, vhost-net.

+ + + +

Move to a single process model, instead of bhyveload + bhyve.

+ + + +

Support running bhyve as non-root.

+ + + +

Add filters for popular VM file formats (VMDK, VHD, QCOW2).

+ + + +

Implement an abstraction layer for video (no X11 or SDL in + base system).

+ + + +

Support for VNC as a video output.

+ + + +

Suspend/resume support.

+ + + +

Live Migration.

+ + + +

Nested VT-x support (bhyve in bhyve).

+ + + +

Support for other architectures (ARM, MIPS, PPC).
