Hi lists, What?s is the current state of FreeBSD running on Amazon EC2 ? Is this stable ? Looking at Colin's status page (http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-on-ec2/) looks like there?s no active development on that. Does someone running production workload with FreeBSD on EC2 ? 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 ? (I had posted this message to -question list, sorry for whom already received this) Best Regards and Happy New Year ! Alexandre

FreeBSD on EC2 is working fine as far as I know, however I don't personally use it at this time. Sean

I had to do some tuning of the nmbclusters to handle the data rates I was using, but I think that would be expected even if running on bare metal.
