I'll be publishing AMIs for 9.0-RELEASE for the 64-bit defenestrated instances and cluster compute instances. Thank you for the responses guys. Beyond that, I'm mostly waiting for improvements from Amazon. Does someone running production workload with FreeBSD on EC2 ? Yes. I´d asked the wrong question... are the FreeBSD instances stable enough to run Network/FileSystem very intensive workload ? I'm interested in running network (dns and http with accept filter) and memory/buffer cache intensive applications on m1.small, m1.large and m2.xlarge instances. Any thoughts ? You can't run FreeBSD on m1.small, but it works just fine on m1.large and m2.xlarge as long as you don't mind paying the Windows tax. By paying the Windows tax you mean that it run in HVM instead of PV Xen mode ? ___ 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.
