It really depends on the devices offered in the VM. If direct device assignment is not provided to a VM or if the node hypervisor doesn't have an optimized para-virtual interface to a VM, I don't see any benefit using DPDK in VMs.

A customer plan to buy some global Amazon VMs to run their DPDK 1.3(will upgrade to DPDK1.6 or 1.7) based VPN applications on global sites. Thanks a lot;
