FreeBSD vs. SmartOS: Who's Faster for Jails, Zones, and bhyve VMs?
Which virtualization host performs better? I put FreeBSD and SmartOS in a head-to-head showdown. The performance of Jails, Zones, and bhyve VMs surprised me, forcing a second round of tests on different hardware to find the real winner.

#illumos #omnios is absolutely incredible. The system is very well designed IMO, I had already experienced the more cohesively designed #BSD but here it feels a bit *more* (although quite similar in some aspects to #freebsd of course).
Linux feels like a duct-taped amalgamation of random ideas, don't get me wrong I love Linux and all it represents, but it's a system that has been grown in any direction.
With Illumos instead it feels like you have orthogonal powerful building blocks you can compose into something greater than the sum of its parts. #zfs #dtrace #zones #crossbow it all works beautifully, both on their own and together.
After seeing how virtualized networking can be done in solaris, the docker networking stack feels so sad in comparison.
So far I'm very impressed.
