Sessions
FreeBSD, bhyve and ZFS make a great framework to build a Type-1 hypervisor with. It provides a well-supported platform that can be used to host all modern operating systems.
The half-day tutorial that is aimed at beginner to intermediate skills, will give participants a hands-on learning experience to build up a FreeBSD host to host various operating systems and perform expected management tasks.
Key areas of focus will include:
* Hardware selection
* Software configuration toolchain from ports/packages
* Priming a system ready for use
* Templates for various operating systems
* Network configurations
* Various guest storage types under ZFS and considerations needed based on workloads
* Guest console management via serial or VNC
* Installation and management of various guest operating systems
Participants that wish to engage in the practical aspects of the tutorial will be expected to attend with a laptop that has WiFi connectivity. Those that wish to follow along using a FreeBSD laptop are welcome with that type of configuration as long as they have the means to download software from the provided WiFi network and FreeBSD repositories.
