I have been using it under LXC containers without issues, as well, but they are like OpenVZ where it runs on bare-metal hardware and not through some full virtualization environment.

FreeSWITCH will only run as good as a VE can perform.

It is perfectly safe to use it in production but we WILL NOT support performance issues related to running in a VE because there are too many variables and emulations present to know the root cause of any particular performance issue.

Our community conference server is a VE but its openvz which has proven the most reliable VE to run FreeSWITCH under that we have tested. 

Especially with current FS HEAD, it runs as expected on EC2 assuming you are choosing the correct image with full CPU power and the amazon linux OS.

Hello,
I'm trying to clarify this concept in order to add it to create a "clock" entry on the wiki.

What does "virtual migrations over VE" mean?

Could FS run safely in production on virtual environments (e.g. vmware) or this is a "screwed by design" deployment because of unsolvable timing issues?
I've read on the wiki
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Amazon_EC2
the ML
http://old.nabble.com/Announcing-the-FreeSWITCH-Technology-Preview-VMWare-Appliance.-tt21478354.html#a21478354
http://www.mail-archive.com/freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org/msg07704.html
and also some vmware specific docs
http://tinyurl.com/bmympov

but I'm still unsure. Which of the following are true?
1) It's not safe to run FS on a vmware production environment
2) It's perfectly safe to run FS on a vmware production environment provided that FS does not handle media (i.e. use bypass_media)
3) It's perfectly safe to run FS on a vmware production environment taking advantage of the full FS features set (e.g. potential transcoding, IVR, conferencing).

Kind Regards,
Claudio

As a caveat, DST being only one example, the other more real reasons include: erroneous commands from sysadmins changing the system time,  virtual migrations over VE and many other reasons that went into our decision to lock on to the most accurate time source possible ASAP.
