alt Hacker NewsI love FreeBSD but Linux just provides every feature under the sun when it comes to virtualization. Do you find any missing features on bhyve ? Is bhyve reliable ? I can't imagine its been tested as thoroughly as KVM ...

Anecdotally, Bhyve has worked in FreeBSD for a decade now. Eventually it got ported to Illumos because it was better than their implementation of QEMU.

If you are unsure of bhyve's abilities then why not test yourself? Speculation and guessing about stability or testing is useless without seeing if it works in your application.

Bhyve is quite cool but no nested virt which means you cannot nest vm_enter/exit calls with EPT pages so you cannot virtualize within those guests. I found this crucial. For instance Qubes OS won't run in Bhyve by any means.
