FreeBSD is an advanced computer operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive networking and storage devices.
Overview
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power servers, desktops, and embedded systems. Derived from BSD, the version of UNIX developed at the University of California, Berkeley, FreeBSD has been continually developed by a large community for more than 30 years. FreeBSD's networking, security, storage, and monitoring features, including the pf firewall, the Capsicum capability frameworks, the ZFS filesystem, and the DTrace dynamic tracing framework, make FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage systems.
Highlights
- FreeBSD provides access to over 33,000 third-party applications via the ports tree and binary packages.
- FreeBSD's widely-recognized stability and reliability and lengthy support for stable branches makes it ideal for building long-lived services.
- Between Capsicum, Jails, and support for multiple firewalls, FreeBSD provides an unsurpassed security feature set.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

LOVE FreeBSD Unix!

Our favorite and beloved FreeBSD Unix is here! Thank You! :-)
This is a rock solid Open-Source Unix from the BSD family, created by real Unix gurus with strong real world experience since 199x, without enforced changes ideology, amazingly friendly to configure and maintain in the long term, uses /etc/rc.conf text file system wide configuration, lots of precompiled packages allows out-of-the-box automations to bring a service in just seconds/minutes, lots of ported Open-Source-Software (so called FreeBSD Ports) in the /usr/ports also makes it possible to build your own customized features of the desired packages.
BSD license allows you to close-source your final product (see Apple's OSX/macOS, Sony's PlayStation, etc), but FreeBSD is still pioneering the real Open-Source innovation that later shows up in other OS (i.e. TCP/IP/IPv6 stack, Ports, Jails Sandboxing, bhyve supervisor/virtualization, ZFS filesystem, and many many more).

This image is the FreeBSD 13.0 release image, it contains the OS as shipped by the FreeBSD release team with the rest of the bits for it to work well in AWS.
The release doesn't have any extra stuff bolted on and is exactly what you need for the base of a FreeBSD deployment in the cloud.

This is the latest official AMI from the FreeBSD project. The power to serve brought to your local VPC. Lots of work has gone into v13 and can’t recommend it enough.
