FreeBSD as a compute node in OpenStack

摘要

At the moment, the demand for Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is higher than ever, as many companies from industry and open-source communities are focused on improving virtualization solutions. The aim of such a system is to provide virtual instances in a timely manner, persisting in quality and swiftness, while remaining simple and accessible for users. This paper proposes a model for a heterogeneous environment that offers services of IaaS using OpenStack as a cloud computing platform with Linux as a controller node and FreeBSD as a compute node. bhyve, the FreeBSD’s hypervisor, will be used to create the virtual instances.
