The FreeBSD/VPC hypervisor efforts ran into a few “corporate speed bumps.” A few folks, myself included, are working to merge this code and make it generally available. The FreeBSD hypervisor effort certainly was the best systems work I’ve seen in my life, especially in such a short amount of time and given the resources at our disposal. My favorite anecdote was that the internal first-pass review of the benchmark data was that we had cheated because we had “exceeded the laws of computer science physics” when we saturated 100GE with VXLAN encap’ed guest traffic with no hardware acceleration, and we were only using a half a CPU core. If someone asked me to do this type of work again I’d use FreeBSD as the base again in a heartbeat. Good systems engineers are invaluable. Working from a solid technical foundation is equally critical, so is the community.

The control plane work likely won’t be made available (it was Linux specific, anyway). :-/

As for both the FreeBSD work and control plane work, it was good times, good memories, and a great team while it lasted.
