Assuming that these will be two Ubuntu VMs with Bird iBGP/eBGP + VRRP, on
different hosts, outside the HA cluster and additionally with a passthrough
network card for each VM, then in fact it should be no different from two
physical routers, also in terms of performance, and in fact gives greater

Yes, two VMs is the way. But "nothing is wrong" with a "HA" foobar
feature of a Cluster. Sure it depends what the Cluster will actually do
and how it will behave, and maybe /I/ would not trust VMware, but with
ganeti we wanted to bring up certain VMs up on a different node as soon
as possible.

That was the second remark :)
However, RSes can be run in VMs, the only question is about RIB size and
updates rate.

I completely agree. I wouldn’t try to rely on something as shady as
virtualisation “HA” when something as simple as iBGP and VRRP is
available. I would even try to put my routers outside of any VM.

Hi.
You would not install single bird instance on vmware HA cluster since
you'll get sessions flaps when instance restart on falures. Right way is
to run two different instances on different cluster nodes with HA
deactivated for these instances and setup sessions from each bird instance.
