--- Comment #15 from Colin Percival <cperciva@FreeBSD.org> ---
Ok, there's something weird going on here, because EC2 instances freebsd-update
just find when they boot:

freebsd-update 1197 - - src component not installed, skipped
freebsd-update 1197 - - Looking up aws.update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 1 mirrors
found.
freebsd-update 1197 - - Fetching public key from
dualstack.aws.update.freebsd.org... done.
freebsd-update 1197 - - Fetching metadata signature for 14.4-RELEASE from
dualstack.aws.update.freebsd.org... done.
freebsd-update 1197 - - Fetching metadata index... done.
freebsd-update 1197 - - Fetching 1 metadata files... done.
freebsd-update 1197 - - Inspecting system... done.
freebsd-update 1197 - - Preparing to download files... done.
freebsd-update 1197 - - 
freebsd-update 1197 - - No updates needed to update system to 14.4-RELEASE-p0.
