Hi cloudy people, I'm planning on adding a new flavour of FreeBSD/EC2 AMIs: "Small" AMIs, which are the standard FreeBSD "base" images minus some bits which are optional or generally less likely to be useful for production systems: * They don't have kernel or world debug symbols, * They don't have FreeBSD tests, * They don't have 32-bit libraries, * They don't have LLDB, * They don't have the Amazon SSM Agent pre-installed, * They don't default to installing the awscli at first boot. Phabricator review: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D46509 I'm planning on committing this in a few days (aka before this week's snapshot builds); if you have any feedback on the "smallification" I did above, please let me know. -- Colin Percival FreeBSD Release Engineering Lead & EC2 platform maintainer Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
