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.

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.

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.

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.

This tipped me over to use AWS. Dont care too much about Linux (ok i guess) but this is purely brute force.

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!

Go-to operating system when looking for performance on low resources. Which also translates to lower cost, especially when it comes to the cloud.

FreeBSD team: thanks for creating this AMI! With this AMI it's exceptionally simple to run FreeBSD in AWS. Very much appreciated.

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 ec2-user@.
