RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: FreeBSD on azure/arm

The main difference is Azure runs on Azure HCI Hyper-V based compute system, where we have different set of
drivers for the virtual machine to enable it. Along with that the way PCI passthrough is handled in VM, is specific
to Azure HCI Hyper-V.

You don't often get email from joseph@josephholsten.com<mailto:joseph@josephholsten.com>. Learn why this is important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification>
I know the official images in the Oracle Cloud marketplace work great on ARM. I’m not sure what differs about it from the aarch64 image on https://www.freebsd.org/where/

Maybe the folks involved in getting the image into OCI marketplace can consider azure next? Or maybe let us know what resources would help make that easier?

Hi,

Recently i decided to play with FreeBSD/arm on azure and found that official images are done only for x86_64. Eventually i found in community image one for 14-CURRENT/arm64 which seems to work.


Is anyone working to make this supported in official images? Any help needed? I think it would be nice to have.
