Used to be that only the Windows instances were HVM (thus the defenestration hack using them to get FreeBSD onto AWS) and all the Unix ones used paravirtualization - has this changed?
- zootm 14y agoI think cluster instances are always HVM, not sure about high IO.
- cperciva 14y agoCluster, high-I/O, and M3 all have HVM available. Basically, all the new instance types released since I started complaining to EC2 engineers about how HVM is so much easier to work with than PV... ;-)
- sdfjkl 14y agoAh, so we could've had FreeBSD by coughing up the cash for one of those - or was there any special porting needed for it?
- cperciva 14y agoPorting was needed, but I've done it for you.
