Microsoft ♥ Linux

Why do I need to hear about Linux Integration Services? Microsoft is committed to heterogenous datacenters You run Windows You run Linux You run FreeBSD You protect your freedom to run whatever is needed Linux and FreeBSD work great on Hyper-V and Azure It’s real It’s robust It’s available today It has the capabilities you want

Running a Guest OS on Hyper-V Runs on x86/x64? Have Integration Services? Yes Yes Start No No Dead end Not going to run on Hyper-V Emulated Devices No Hyper-V integration Limited manageability Limited functionality OK CPU, weak disk/net Synthetic Devices Full Hyper-V integration Best manageability Best functionality Perf near bare metal AIX, HP-UX Solaris SPARC Windows RT Solaris x86 Linux with no IS BSD with no IS Linux with IS FreeBSD with IS Windows with IS

Integration Services (IS): What Are They? Hyper-V presents synthetic devices to the guest OS Synthetic devices seen by the guest OS are the same, regardless of the real hardware under Hyper-V Guest OS needs drivers for these synthetic devices Just like an OS needs drivers for devices it sees when running on real hardware Integration Services = guest OS drivers for Hyper-V They run in the guest OS so must follow the device driver model for that guest OS Windows IS are different from Linux IS, are different from FreeBSD IS Linux and FreeBSD integration services also include user-space daemons that interact with the drivers

LIS Feature: VM Generations, VHDX Resize Generation 1 VMs Basic emulated BIOS machine with IDE and SCSI controllers and serial ports Generation 2 VMs “Slimmed down” virtual machine with UEFI instead of BIOS and no legacy device emulation PXE boot from synthetic Network Adapter Remember to turn off Secure Boot in Hyper-V 2012 R2 (it’s on by default) VHDX Resize Host side changes to VHDX size are visible in the guest almost immediately Can automate file system resize to match change in underlying disk Network Acceleration TCP offload, Virtual Receive/Send Side Scaling (vRSS), Virtual Machine Queue (VMQ) enabled by default

LIS Feature: Enhanced Management 6/11/2018 LIS Feature: Enhanced Management Shutdown Linux guests from management console Hyper-V signals LIS in the Linux guest to run the “shutdown” command Time sync Linux guests sync to Hyper-V host time at start-up and upon resume Recommend running NTP in the Linux guest to avoid wall clock time drift in the guest Key/Value Pairs Bi-directional host-guest communication path – no network connection required Used to communicate basic guest info (such as IP address) to the management console Can also be used by applications – APIs are published for use within a Linux guest Troubleshooting: make sure the hypervkvpd or hv_kvp_daemon daemon process is running © 2015 Microsoft Corporation.

LIS Feature: Dynamic Memory 6/11/2018 LIS Feature: Dynamic Memory Hyper-V manages memory allocated to the guest VM You get higher VM density via memory overcommit Works for Windows and Linux guests on same host Depends on capability of VM Linux kernel version Adds memory between “RAM” (Startup Memory) and “Maximum RAM” Newly added memory increases total memory size seen by Linux guest OS “Hot-Remove” is not implemented for Linux Hot-Add Removes and re-adds memory between current size and “Minimum RAM” Does not affect total memory size seen by Linux guest OS Linux guest treats removed memory as used buffers Ballooning © 2015 Microsoft Corporation.

LIS Feature: Dynamic Memory ❶ Hot-Add: Total Linux total memory size increases. RAM (Startup Memory) Maximum RAM ❷ Ballooning: Balloon driver allocates free memory and releases it to Hyper-V. Sum of orange does not go below “Minimum RAM”. Linux total memory size is unchanged. ❸ Ballooning: Hyper-V assigns memory back to guest. Balloon driver releases allocated buffers. Linux total memory size is unchanged.

LIS Feature: Dynamic Memory Available/Addressable memory in MB Output of watch free –m command in Linux bash shell Actual Allocated Memory Memory tab in Hyper-V Manager

LIS Feature: Live Virtual Machine Backup Windows Backup Compatible VSS-enabled backup applications can create a full backup of a Linux VM without interrupting operations Uses Linux filesystem freeze feature to create a filesystem-consistent snapshot Filesystem activities are flushed then operations continue without pausing the VM while the backup is performed on a shadow copy Caveats Not the same as application-consistent backups Uses a daemon on the guest named “hypervvssd” or “hv_vss_daemon”, which is not installed by default or started automatically on some Linux distributions Backups will skip volumes that are not wholly managed by the host like passthrough disks, iSCSI, and SAN volumes

LIS Feature: Live Virtual Machine Backup ❸ LIS VSS components freeze the file systems and flush memory buffers User Space VSS* daemon Linux Guest ❷ Hyper-V signals LIS inside the Linux guest to perform backup steps Filesystem buffers storvsc driver ❶ Utility tells Hyper-V to start VM backup Kernel Hyper-V Host Backup Utility ❹ Hyper-V creates a VM checkpoint and signals LIS to unfreeze filesystems ❺ Volume Shadow Copy Service creates a snapshot of volume hosting the VHD ❻ Backup Utility copies VHD from snapshot Guest VHD Hyper-V Storage Backup Storage *Not the same as Windows VSS.

Hyper-V Sockets Guest VM Byte-stream communications channel over vmbus instead of over the network. Programmed the same way (traditional BSD sockets) as similar network channels. No restriction on message size like KVP. Not a filesystem paradigm like fcopy. Can be used even when there is no common network shared between the host and guest. Host

Hot Add/Remove vNIC Add or remove a virtual NIC in a running Linux virtual machine Linux guest will add or remove the corresponding /dev entry No reboot required

Secure Boot shimx64.efi 4.4.0-34-generic x86_64 Added certification authority for signed bootloaders, kernels, and modules for UEFI New UI for 2012R2 and 2016 Works for EFI-enabled versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Ubuntu, Oracle Linux signed

Runtime Memory Resize Without enabling Dynamic Memory add and remove memory from operating live virtual machines. Linux kernel must support hot add and the balloon driver returns memory to Hyper-V.

Discrete Device Assignment PCI Passthrough Allows PCI Express devices to be mapped directly to the VM, like network cards, GPUs, and storage devices. Uses the same Linux drivers as on “bare metal” machines. Used on N-Series Azure VMs to give the guests access to GPUs. SR-IOV Allocates a portion of a NIC to the virtual machine for improved latency and throughput. Needs VF driver in Linux. Several VF drivers already available -- Mellanox and Intel 40Gb, multiple Intel 10Gb cards.

Linux Runs Well on Windows Linux and FreeBSD guests are first class citizens Hyper-V Integration LIS provides deep integration with Hyper-V, comparable with Windows capabilities Acceleration via offload enabled by default Linux guests have comparable performance with Windows guests as well Passthrough Available For Best Performance Passthrough disks, Fibrechannel capabilities for the fastest storage PCI Passthrough and SR-IOV to give the guest the most direct route to the hardware

Benchmarking Best Practices Networking Use NTttcp for Linux Compatible with NTttcp for Windows Improved capabilities over iperf3 Multiple threads, CPU affinity Sender/receiver sync mode Uses networking offload features http://aka.ms/ntttcp https://github.com/Microsoft/ntttcp-for- linux https://github.com/Microsoft/lagscope Storage Use fio Linux: libaio engine Windows: windowsaio engine Multiple threads and queues Produce enough workload to keep the queues filled by checking iops and latency at different iodepths fio is very flexible for modelling workloads
