  • FreeBSD and CBSD provide robust tools for managing virtualized environments.
  • CBSD simplifies the management of FreeBSD jails and bhyve virtual machines.
  • VXLAN technology enables stretched layer-2 networks across distant locations.
  • Combining CBSD with VXLAN allows for flexible, distributed infrastructures.
  • Setting up VXLAN Tunnel Endpoints (VTEPs) is key for seamless connectivity.
  • CBSD automates the creation and configuration of VMs and jails across nodes.
  • The guide demonstrates practical steps for deploying a global virtual network.
  • FreeBSD's stability and control make it ideal for cloud-like infrastructures.
