+=== FreeBSD on EC2
+
+Contact: Colin Percival <cperciva@FreeBSD.org>
+
+FreeBSD is available on both amd64 (Intel and AMD) and arm64 (Graviton) EC2 instances.
+
+In the past quarter, a new "small" flavour of EC2 AMI has been added, without debug symbols, tests, 32-bit compatibility libraries, or the LLVM debugger, and without the Amazon SSM Agent pre-installed or the AWS CLI installed by default at first boot.
+
+Build performance tests are now being performed weekly using the snapshot AMIs built by the release engineering team.
+These tests revealed several performance regressions which have now been fixed; in particular a bug fix to the use of the EFI RNG in the boot loader produced a dramatic speedup on Graviton instances.
