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, 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.

+ +

A combined bhyve and ZFS BoF was held during vBSDCon 2015, + hosted by Michael Dexter and Allan Jude. Questions asked about + bhyve were live migration and suspend/resume support, and + configurations using ZFS.

+ +

Three bhyve-related project were selected for GSoC 2015: + NE2000 device emulation, porting bhyve to ARM, and + ptnetmap support.

+ +

The major enhancement for bhyve 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.

+ +
    +
  • Windows support
  • +
  • Illumos support
  • +
+ + + + +

Improve the documentation.

+
+ + +

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

+
+ + +

Add support for virtio-scsi.

+
+ + +

Flexible networking backends: wanproxy, vhost-net.

+
+ + +

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).

+
+ + +

Suspend/resume support.

+
+ + +

Live Migration.

+
+ + +

Nested VT-x support (bhyve in bhyve).

+
+ + +

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