I compare Bhyve often with Docker or Podman. It is a hypervisor and virtual machine manager. Basically you link a ISO and run it. It can be any OS.

There are several ways to run Bhyve:

- CLI - Libvert and virt-manager - vm-bhyve

A vm-bhyve template can look like this:

  loader="uefi"
  graphics="yes"
  xhci_mouse="yes"
  cpu=2
  cpu_sockets=1
  cpu_cores=2
  memory=4G
  network0_type="virtio-net"
  network0_switch="public"
  disk0_type="nvme"
  disk0_name="disk0.img"
  disk1_type="ahci-cd"
  disk1_dev="custom"
  disk1_name="/path/to/disc.iso"

I use Jails to run applications like Postgres, Redis, Python api in an isolated environment. Jails is native FreeBSD, but isolated.

It is. Parent comment just messes and misunderstands/focus only on "isolation" part of Podman/Docker, which is foundation but hardly a selling point of those products.
