Re: Running obsd as a virtual machine with hardware passthrough

OpenBSD works fine under Hyper-V. hyperv(4) could use some TLC.

First-class citizen support from MS (like FreeBSD) would be nice.

They do have a "How to run OpenBSD in Azure" HOWTO after all:

It may run two instances of stable obsd, a live and a fallback, with headroom for isolated internet services and dev vms, for example, or it may run 100 cloud instances.
