Running BSD on AWS - Julien Simon & Nicolas David
Channel: EuroBSDcon
Date: 2019-10-16

Description:

No, Amazon Web Services is not only Linux territory! It’s actually quite easy
to run your favorite BSD OS in the Cloud and we’ll show you how in this session.
First, we’ll start with a quick recap on the AWS infrastructure, before
explaining how you can build and launch BSD-based Amazon Machine Images.
We’ll then start a FreeBSD instance on a rather large server and we’ll build a
ZFS volume based on local disks. Finally, we’ll see how fast we can run a full
‘build world’: place your bets 😉
