There is a reason why its possible to run 1000 simultaneous #FreeBSD #Jails on a old laptop and not 1000 Bhyve VMs :)

The arrow of time - The night of 1000 jails

@jcamos @vermaden @stefano in #illumos the number of zones supported per host is 8192 , but really depends on how much resources are given to each zone. Is there a max limit for #FreeBSD jails?.I have not checked. But 8192 seems to be ok, as Joyent public cloud was running illumos and #mnx.io is running illumos as well. At least i checked today in #SmartOS and the limit is there.
@Neirac @jcamos @vermaden @stefano The old Solaris limit of 8192 came from the days of shared IP zones, because there was a hard limit of how many virtual interfaces you could create on a physical interface. I've gone into 1000s when experimenting. These days with crossbow the sky's the limit, but you're likely to hit a resource constraint somewhere eventually.
