RE: FreeBSD on EC2
I'm trying to shake whatever I can to make whatever possible happen. Good thing you replied. Do you have any idea of a schedule when we could be seeing FreeBSD on EC2 ? Opensolaris is dead, so apart from Linux no other Unix run in EC2 ; so I think this would be a good thing for FreeBSD to be there as much a good thing for Amazon to open up to other OSes than Linux/Windows. How much work is needed to make this happen ?

They were an experiment which doesn't currently work. Those are both public images. I haven't tried them yet but if someone managed to run netbst I think we're quiet close to have some fun on FreeBSD now. Not necessarily. NetBSD's Xen code is rather better than FreeBSD's. -- Colin Percival Security Officer, FreeBSD | freebsd.org | The power to serve Founder / author, Tarsnap | tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid ___ freebsd-xen@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-xen To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-xen-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
RE: FreeBSD on Amazon EC2
Thanks for your interesting view on the subject. Yes I guess I too, would really love to hear from a FreeBSD developer on this matter. It would be great to have at least a 386 version working so some of us could put it on ec2 and start with some feedback. FreeBSD should really be there in my opinion ! -- My dojo zend framework experience, the good, the bad with code samples ;-) http://practicalphpajax.wordpress.com/ From: g...@omegacube.fr To: nospam...@hotmail.fr CC: freebsd-xen@freebsd.org Subject: RE: FreeBSD on Amazon EC2 Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2010 20:12:55 +0200 Dear Zlabivliba, I think it's going to take a while for FreeBSD to perfectly work as a paravirtualized DomU. SMP doesn't work, there is no AMD64 kernel available, and the stability has to be improved under heavy load. I guess the first work will be done on the stability of the virtualized OS and then some new feature will appear. Maybe a FreeBSD developer could tell us about this but I also guess this is not a priority since they added FreeBSD jails.
