> I will say, though, that single VCPU guests would not have met our immediate needs in the Oxide product!

Could Oxide not have helped push multi-vcpu guests out the door by sponsoring one of the main developers working on it, or contributing to development? From a secure design perspective, OpenBSD's vmd is a lot more appealing than bhyve is today.

I saw recently that AMD SEV (Secure Encrypted Virtualization) was added, which seems compelling for Oxide's AMD based platform. Has Oxide added support for that to their bhyve fork yet?

OpenBSD developers are making a serious effort to kill off indirect syscalls, the base system is completely clean, take a look at the work Andrew Fresh did to adapt Perl. He wrote a complete syscall "dispatcher" or emulator for the Perl syscall function so that it calls the libc stubs.

https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/312e26c80be876012ae979...

The ports tree is being cleansed of syscall(2) usage, until they're all gone.

msyscall, pinsyscall, recent mandatory IBT/BTI, xonly. OpenBSD is making some waves, but people aren't really seeing them yet.
