Anyone heard anything from dragonflyBSD lately? This sounds like something that might go well with HammerFS?

Also related is Propolis from Oxide who worked on live migration with Bhyve https://github.com/oxidecomputer/propolis

Looks like this could really become a game changer for the FreeBSD folks using bhyve. The author often complained about this missing feature and he was also contributing to the Sylve project. Looks like he's crafting something.

Nice! Can we have high availability / clustering for jails next?

What’s FreeBSDs story like for Docker these days?

I love FreeBSD. But I reluctantly had to migrate one of my home servers to Ubuntu Server because I needed Docker support as well as ZFS. Ubuntu Server, compared to FreeBSD, is a complete clusterfuck of an OS. And I regret the effort I spent migrating.

so bhyve getting live migration finally means sylve might actually be usable for production clusters, been waiting on this.
