The wiki pages probably the best place for general info on bhyve current and=
 planned features: https://wiki.freebsd.org/bhyve

Live migration is a planned feature. HA rules and other automation and orche=
stration are probably beyond the scope of what bhyve itself is aiming to ach=
ieve, though such features could easily be provided by additional scripts an=
d tools.

What specifically are you after in terms of network virtualization? Again, b=
hyve itself isn't intended to be a giant umbrella but FreeBSD does support m=
any networking features which could support network virtualization (and whic=
h work fine with bhyve).
