Can somebody explain what this is?

  Looks like an OpenBSD version of Docker.

    No, this is virtualization - vmm/vmd is a legit HVM.
    • mbrumlow 8y ago
      So it is better than systemd :p
      • dijit 8y ago
        it's really not comparable. SystemD is an init system (and you're conflating systemd with CGroups in Linux, which would be part of the kernel and not related to systemd at all) and a Hypervisor. More comparable comparisons could be: bhyve for FreeBSD, xhyve for OSX, virtualbox for... everything. Or QEMU/KVM on Linux.

          Oh man, I did not mean to type systemd! I ment docker.
          • dijit 8y ago
            Aha, that makes sense. But still. Docker is containers, vmm is full virtualisation. Docker can be compared to FreeBSD jails, Solaris Zones or.. actually, cgroups in linux (for masochists).

              I know I know. It was a joke and a slight jab at docker :p
              • DonHopkins 8y ago
                The Urban Dictionary also defines docker as someone who makes a slight jab.

  They're a minimal/simplified VPS provider; OpenBSD VPSes hosted on OpenBSD's native hypervisor.
