The release of the free distribution was held mybee 13.1.0 , built on the basis of technology FreeBSD 13.1 and Providing API for working with virtual machines (via hypervisor bhyve ) and containers (based on freeBSD jail ). The distribution is designed to install on a selected physical server. Size installation image – 1.7gb
Base installation Mybee provides Opportunities for creating, destroying, starting and stopping virtual environment. Creating their own microservices and registering them Endpoints in the API (for example, microservices of snapshots, migration, checkpoints, cloning, renaming, etc.) can easily be implemented, users can design and expand the API for any tasks and create specific solutions.
In addition, in the distribution includes a large number of modern OS profiles, such As Debian, CentoS, Rocky, Kali, Oracle, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Dragonflybsd and NetBSD, ready for immediate use. Configuration of the network and access is carried out through packets cloud-init (for the OS family *UNIX) and CloudBase (for Windows). Also, the project provides tools for creating their own images. One example of a customized image is the cluster kubernetes , also launched through the API (Kubernetes support is provided using the project K8S-Bhyve ).
The high speed of the virtual machines and the work of the Bhyve hypervisor allows the distribution in the one -minor installation mode to find application in the tasks of testing applications, as well as in research activities. In the case of combining several Mybee servers into a cluster, the distribution can find application as a base for building private clouds and FAAS/SAAS platforms. Despite the presence of the simplest access control system for the API, the distribution is designed to work only in trusted surroundings.
Distribution is developing by the participants of the CBSD project and is notable for the lack of any bindings to the code affiliated with foreign companies, as well as the use of a completely alternative technology stack.
