Bhyve – BSD Hypervisor

You're just not trying hard enough. There was a Xen hypervisor bug for years that could, when the stars aligned and the moon was full, jump the clock ahead 50 minutes. Nobody knew what was causing it until during a bug session the right guy was looking at the right bit of code and noticed an obscure problem in some in-line assembly.

Every system has bugs.

Every system has bugs, but as the other reply said, quality engineering and most importantly transparency determine the impact.

Never been a fan of Xen. It doesn't strike me as quality software. Then again no virtualization solution has to me, yet. I'd rather just deploy all the services to the base machine and use MAC to isolate them.

This isn't about bugs, it's about system transparency.
