Does AWS count as a major cloud vendor? If you look at the OS catalog for
EC2 images, they have all versions of 12 and 13. Last time I looked , they
have all of the Betas and RCs for 13.2, which is more than they have for
Ubuntu. Also, the number two cloud vendor submitted kernel patches to the
FreeBSD project so that it would work better on Microsoft’s hypervisor.

See
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/freebsd-intro-on-azure

To see what Azure supports w.r.t. FreeBSD.

Also, Colin has been doing great with Amazon to get support for the new
Amazon cloud hardware into FreeBSD.

Most other cloud vendors are small (maybe medium) as compared to AWS and
Azure.
