Still, I think this is yet another strong vote of confidence coming from Amazon. Enough to encourage me to pick up some projects that I had mothballed since AWS has become the "go to" solution for so many clients these days. With any luck, all those loose ends will be tied up long before I need anything production ready, but even just seeing this progress from "blessed hack" to "mostly official" is a strong indication that effort in this direction will likely not be wasted.
- cperciva 14y agoI think this is yet another strong vote of confidence coming from Amazon. Yes, I'm certainly glad to have this. Amazon is very secretive, and while I've talked to enough people over the years to know that Amazon definitely wasn't ignoring FreeBSD, it's very nice to have something public I can point to and say "look, they really do care!" all those loose ends will be tied up long before I need anything production ready FWIW, even with the loose ends, I consider FreeBSD/EC2 production ready -- and I'm using it in production, both for Tarsnap and for FreeBSD Portsnap mirrors.
