    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 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 33,000 third-party applications via the ports tree and binary packages.
    • FreeBSD's widely-recognized stability and reliability and lengthy support for stable branches makes it ideal for building long-lived services.
    • Between Capsicum, Jails, 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@".

    What do you like best about the product?
    Stability: FreeBSD is known for its stability and reliability. It is designed to run for long periods of time without crashing or requiring a reboot.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    While FreeBSD has a large collection of software available through its ports system, it may not have as many software packages available as some other operating systems, such as Linux.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Supports advanced virtualization features such as Jails and Zones, which allows for creating and managing isolated, lightweight virtual environments.

    It really depends on what you want to use it for.

    What do you like best about the product?
    The flexibility and stability of a UNIX system is what's great about FreeBSD. I used to use it while in university, and I enjoyed it a lot, however, it has its downsides as well, such as software compatibility, etc. which I think must have improved a lot since then.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    Not so great compatibility with various software. You need to go out of your way to find the software that is compatible with the OS, however, this has improved in recent years, and also it depends on what you want to use the OS for.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Open source, strong and stable UNIX based OS that helps developers and users in many ways to solve the problems in their day-to-day work and to get tasks done effectively.

    LOVE FreeBSD Unix!

    Our favorite and beloved FreeBSD Unix is here! Thank You! :-)

    This is a rock solid Open-Source Unix from the BSD family, created by real Unix gurus with strong real world experience since 199x, without enforced changes ideology, amazingly friendly to configure and maintain in the long term, uses /etc/rc.conf text file system wide configuration, lots of precompiled packages allows out-of-the-box automations to bring a service in just seconds/minutes, lots of ported Open-Source-Software (so called FreeBSD Ports) in the /usr/ports also makes it possible to build your own customized features of the desired packages.

    BSD license allows you to close-source your final product (see Apple's OSX/macOS, Sony's PlayStation, etc), but FreeBSD is still pioneering the real Open-Source innovation that later shows up in other OS (i.e. TCP/IP/IPv6 stack, Ports, Jails Sandboxing, bhyve supervisor/virtualization, ZFS filesystem, and many many more).
