Hi friends of illumos!

Episode No. 2 of the podcast "friends of illumos" is out!

After a weekend packed with podcast cutting and postprocessing I finally managed to upload the new episode. I decided to give https://podigee.com a try and uploaded the new episode FOI002 as well as the older one FOI001. I think it will take a moment, until the subdomain for foi is established. You can listen or register the RSS feed here: https://foi.podigiee.io

FOI002 is about bhyve hypervisor and about supporting the illumos community.

Abstract:
In this episode No 2 we talk about virtualization with bhyve on BSD and why its available on Illumos. A new bhyve feature will be virtfs to eliminate the need for nested filesystems. We get an idea of the bhyve design principles and why OS-guests get such an amazing performance compared to bare metal. Finally we talk on what should help developing the illumos community. Why Cloud providers integrate FreeNAS for their customers. How brilliant the open source community around OpenZFS is.
