Hi!

Anyone that have tried using Asterisk 11 with SIP + Confbridge as a
VMware virtual machine? Any issues to be aware of?

Of course the hardware node needs to to be powerful enough - but say you
have just one virtual machine on the node - will the performance be
drastically less than running asterisk on the metal? Or can I expect
roughly the same performance?

Thanks!

I have found Asterisk using only SIP is very responsive on virtual
machines. We have used VMs for call center applications and for complex
IVR solutions without problems. Obviously there is overhead running a
VM so you can never expect a VM to perform as well as bare metal.
Running a single VM on a server is a complete waste of resources, might
as well run natively.

Sounds very good. Do you have this experience with WMware in particular
or with virtualization in general?

I won't run a single WM, it was just an example. My question was more
about if I could expect roughly the same performance, or if it is
drastically different with virtual machines on VMware.

Well, regardless of how many VMs you run on bare metal, you do get the
benefit of the VM technology. Even if OP runs 1 VM on the box, he
could leverage snapshots in VM ware for the purpose or migrating or
back ups. I don't think it is a waste per say, just different
requirements.

We run our Asterisk 11 instance in VMWare as well. They share the hardware with multiple other boxes. We do give Asterisk priority over most other virtual machines. We either have SIP providers or use boxes like Digium's G100 series to convert our T1 lines to SIP.

Our experience has been good and we have no problems loading Asterisk up on virtual machines on each site.

Thanks Kevin, that's great.

Nice to hear that asterisk is more virtualization friendly with recent
versions.
