I run BIRD in our datacenter exclusively in VMs. I run 6 different routers as VMs in a cluster of 4 hypervisors. I do take care to reserve the CPU and memory resources in the hypervisors for these VMs though.

Hi Owino,

In one of your neighboring countries exists bad experience with having
the 2 VMs with the 2 birds on one phys. hardware.

Hopefully you have 2 HW boxes both hosting the VMs and also hosting
"other stuff".
