Hi Patrick,

Do you mind sharing the tools you use (scripts) for creating/managing VMs?

So far, my Googlefu has led me to two sites:
1. https://www.davd.io/install-ubuntu-on-freebsd-with-bhyve/
2. https://www.daemon-security.com/blog/bhyve-simple-0713/

<https://www.daemon-security.com/blog/bhyve-simple-0713/>Looks like there
are several tools out there, so wondering which ones experienced
virtualizers like you love.
