Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-12 13:53:46 UTC

Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/freebsd-compute-node.

Description:

The purpose of this blueprint is introducing support for FreeBSD host as a nova compute node.

FreeBSD is a popular free Unix-like operating system for a variety of platforms and architectures.  Recently it has grown a native hypervisor called 'bhyve' (type 2 i.e. hosted hypervisor).

A new nova hypervisor driver is needed for bhyve along with some minimal network driver compliant with FreeBSD networking abstractions, tools and APIs.
