I don't have any data on instances launched outside of the AWS Marketplace.
So, as I started this email saying: We have a decision to make and I'm
looking for input from the community. Faster booting, or support for older
EC2 instance types in our published AMIs?
Hi Colin,
Here is what I currently run 24/7 on AWS with FreeBSD (non Marketplace AMI);
4 x t3a.nano (FreeBSD-12.2)
1 x t3a.micro (FreeBSD-12.2)
I try move to newer instance types where possible (and stable) as they
generally offer the same or higher
performance for less cost. I haven't moved to FreeBSD-13 yet as I'm allowing
time for any issues to be ironed
out, hopefully in 13.1 (such as that TSC timecounter fix).
Next move might be onto the t4g (Graviton/ARM) instances but haven't properly
tested them yet.
I personally would prefer the faster booting with UEFI rather than supporting
older instance types which will
eventually become obsolete anyway.
Thanks,
James
