simplicity excels
Unbelievable TCP/IP performance. Superior to any other systems. We're using with postgresql, nginx server serving millions of users every week. After switching from Red Hat Linux, we've seen significant increase in performance.

Amazing Jails
Network stack virtualization engine.
In the case of hacking a virtual system and bringing its functionality out of action, it will not affect other running virtual systems.
Lack of differentiation of system limits between the parent and guest systems.
Difficulties with using direct access to devices.
In modern FreeBSD, each virtual machine can be assigned multiple IP addresses.
FreeBSD jails are the original 'container'
Fantastic FreeBSD AMIs
Thank you for these AMIs, really useful and work beautifully. As my favourite OS, and the workhorse of the Internet, it's great to have these updated regularly.
Simplicity and Stability
FreeBSD is well known for stability and comes with a small footprint. I have been trying many different OS for over 30 years and this is one of the best there is.
Awesome FreeBSD
This tipped me over to use AWS. Dont care too much about Linux (ok i guess) but this is purely brute force.
Thanks as always!
Thank you very much for the FreeBSD AMI series!
Though I might be an old dog, I like FreeBSD more than other OSes much for its simplicity and integrity, and from this reason I cannot imagine run nodes without FreeBSD.
And I really appreciate a series of AMIs of FreeBSD, that enable me to use in the AWS.
In addition, this AMI do the freebsd-update in the first boot sequence so that the EC2 entity boot up with the most current (in RELEASE) version. So great.
Also necessary kernel module and ports are loaded by default. Great!
I just do the configuration for my purpose!
ps. I saw your message on ML ;-)
Thank you very much again!
Best Regards,
Stable, performant, good documentation
Go-to operating system when looking for performance on low resources. Which also translates to lower cost, especially when it comes to the cloud.
Thanks!
FreeBSD team: thanks for creating this AMI! With this AMI it's exceptionally simple to run FreeBSD in AWS. Very much appreciated.
Excellent
They need to put a openBSD AMI on aws. However, the web interface instructions to connect are wrong. To connect to an instance use this command ssh -i
