I was actually surprised, given that Theo himself has been opposing virtualization ever since I can remember. I was even more surprised that the foundation funded these developments. Great to see, even though I'm rather certain that it won't do much in terms of increasing OpenBSD market share.

Quote:Ah I see, I couldn't speculate that given what the developer said on the mailing list. That must mean its not so much of a QEMU/Virtualbox solution. Still, I hope VPS hosting companies such as DigitalOcean take advantage of these features. The more I can use OpenBSD in my environment and in my workflow, the happier I will be :)

DigitalOcean uses KVM with predefined images, they don't support - not even unofficially - custom images, and I'm not even talking about OpenBSD. It took years of work to make them support FreeBSD. If you want to use OpenBSD on a VPS take a look at Vultr or basically any KVM-based hoster that allows custom images. (Yes, I really dislike DO.)
