Overview
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power servers, desktops, and embedded systems. Derived from BSD, the version of UNIX developed at the University of California, Berkeley, FreeBSD has been continually developed by a large community for more than 30 years. FreeBSD's networking, security, storage, and monitoring features, including the pf firewall, kernel TLS, the Capsicum capability frameworks, the ZFS filesystem, and the DTrace dynamic tracing framework, make FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage systems.
This AMI has a ZFS root filesystem.
Highlights
- FreeBSD provides access to over 34,000 third-party applications via the ports tree and binary packages.
- FreeBSD's widely-recognized stability and reliability and lengthy support for stable branches makes it ideal for building long-lived services.
- Between Capsicum, Jails, and support for multiple firewalls, FreeBSD provides an unsurpassed security feature set.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
