I'll reply in that way - their way of thinking is still in Sysadmins field, for good or bad. They dismiss/don't realize that the world has shifted for Dev guys doing bit of Ops and all that DevOps things.
I see it used by more and more very special cases (this one from Meta employee who did networking at Yandex before), but out of general usage.
Just over this year:
https://redd.it/x3ewxf - IBM Cloud ditches FreeBSD
https://redd.it/wf7h34 - Hetzner drops FreeBSD support
https://redd.it/ui9z0m - Digital Ocean doing the same
- nix23 4y ago>https://redd.it/wf7h34 https://redd.it/wf7h34 - Hetzner drops FreeBSD support Not true, i send them an email about it, the Answer was kind of: They had problem's with the Boot process on some machines, however you can send them the image and they will put i on a USB-Stick then open a web-terminal for you..for free, they still support FreeBSD but not in the Rescue-Media-Way. BTW thanks for the great Answer from Robin...Hetzner is still great ;)
- CoolCold 4y agoEven if it's technically doable doesn't mean [for me] it's not the same as supported/the same level of usability as before support dropped. Or see it other way around - will require more efforts as before. I see no value in extra efforts.
- nix23 4y agoThey have not droped support, the rescue-media is i think just debian and ubuntu?...what if you want something else? Did they droped support for rhel then? Another solution you can live boot linux and write the image onto your hardware, like you do it on oraclecloud, when you want..for example archlinux or a bsd.
