Microsoft 虛擬化的兩個消息：Azure 被打臉以及 AWS 推出轉移工具

首先是 VMware 發文打臉 Microsoft 說他們所宣稱的轉移工具 (從 VMware 轉到 Azure 上) 並沒有 VMware 原廠支援：「VMware – The Platform of Choice in the Cloud」。

然後 AWS 則是推出了從 Hyper-V 轉移到 AWS 的工具：「Migrate Hyper-V VMs to AWS with AWS Server Migration Service」，這邊倒是沒提到官方支援...

這臉不只是腫腫的而已了，有種連續技的感覺 XD

Microsoft Azure 宣佈正式支援 FreeBSD

Microsoft Azure 宣佈支援 FreeBSD：「Microsoft has created its own FreeBSD image. Repeat. Microsoft has created its own FreeBSD image」，Microsoft 的正式公告在這：「FreeBSD now available in Azure Marketplace」。

Microsoft 所作的 patch 都有進 10.3-RELEASE 裡，主要是對於 Hyper-V 虛擬化後的效能補強：

The majority of the investments we make at the kernel level to enable network and storage performance were up-streamed into the FreeBSD 10.3 release, so anyone who downloads a FreeBSD 10.3 image from the FreeBSD Foundation will get those investments from Microsoft built in to the OS.

像是 10Gbps 網路這部份就有明顯的改善：

For example, our measured networking throughput on a 10Gb network on FreeBSD 10.1 was 2Gbps. With 10.3, we’ve been able to achieve over 9Gbps in testing

不過我覺得宣傳意義比實質意義重一些...
