I wonder how the current status of virtio-rng is?
Or what is the recommendation to get solid and "stable" random numbers inside a kvm guest with the less amount of overhad?
I know the thread Howto enable virtio_rng for the kvm-client? The link to the pve-devel list mentioned a bad implementation of the virtio-rng interface gut the message is from juni 2015 so I hope there's some progress.
In the thread virtio-rng the proxmox team refer to the cli to add the required options to enable virtio-rng inside the kvm guest. I wonder why enabled virtio-rng by default isn't a good option (the only reason I can imagine is a broken implementation like the one mentioned paragraph above).
