Allowing the TurboFloat server to run in a HypervisorAnswered

I would like to be able to setup an end to end test verifying that our integration with TurboFloat works correctly. We are running into an issue where we can't launch the server inside of docker due to the hypervisor restriction. Is there any way to remove this restriction in order to enable this form of testing? Additionally, running the server inside of a container in production would allow us to orchestrate it similar to the rest of our services, so this would also be a welcome feature for production, but the testing scenario is actually what I'm more interested in here.

Answer

The TurboFloat library can be run inside an VM or container (as well as real machines).

The TFS (TurboFloat Server) should not be run in VMs (the reasons why are covered in LimeLM and our help articles).

We’ll have hosted TFS instances soon for customers that can’t provision real hardware.

I just want to follow up that I was able to run TFS inside of a container that wasn't on a VM.

Same principle. We treat containers, sandboxes, VMs, hypervisors all the same.
