    FreeBSD 11

     Info
    AWS Free Tier
    FreeBSD is an advanced computer operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive networking and storage devices.

    Overview

    FreeBSD is an operating system used to power servers, desktops, and embedded systems. Derived from BSD, the version of UNIX developed at the University of California, Berkeley, FreeBSD has been continually developed by a large community for more than 30 years.

    FreeBSD's networking, security, storage, and monitoring features, including the pf firewall, the Capsicum and CloudABI capability frameworks, the ZFS filesystem, and the DTrace dynamic tracing framework, make FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage systems.

    Highlights

    • FreeBSD provides access to over 26,000 third-party applications via the ports tree and binary packages.
    • FreeBSD's widely-recognized stability and reliability and five-year support for stable branches makes it ideal for building long-lived services.
    • Between Capsicum, Jails, CloudABI, and support for multiple firewalls, FreeBSD provides an unsurpassed security feature set.

    Amazon Machine Image (AMI)

    An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

    Additional details

    Usage instructions

    This AMI launches with sshd running and the SSH public key you provide at launch time allowed to log in as ec2-user with passwordless "su" to root. To use this AMI, ensure that your EC2 security group allows SSH (tcp/22) from your location, and then "ssh ec2-user@<Instance IP address>".

    FreeBSD 11 - another great release

    I am using FreeBSD since it came on AWS and never had any issues with any of the ports and updates.
    With FreeBSD 11 Colin Percival continues his excellent job of porting FreeBSD on AWS. I am not sure if it is possible to do future release upgrades (e.g 10->11 was not possible), but I am sure that this will be fixed in any of the upcoming releases knowing the team behind FreeBSD.

    Awesome.

    Same BSD I expect on hardware, but in EC2. Everything works as expected...including buildworlds, etc. As always, since we don't have access to the console in EC2, be careful with fstab and things that might interrupt the boot process.
