+In this quarter, we have worked mainly on ARM64 architecture support and building and publishing images to link:https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-machines/share-gallery-community[Azure community gallery].
+There are some testing images available in the project's testing public gallery, named `FreeBSDCGTest-d8a43fa5-745a-4910-9f71-0c9da2ac22bf`:
+* FreeBSD-CURRENT-testing
+* FreeBSD-CURRENT-gen2-testing
+* FreeBSD-CURRENT-arm64-testing
+
+To use them, when creating a virtual machine:
+. In `Select an Image` step, choose `Community Images (PREVIEW)` in `Other items`
+. Search `FreeBSD`
+
+Work in progress tasks:
+
+* Automating the image building and publishing process and merge to src/release/.
+* Building and publishing ZFS-based images to Azure Marketplace
+** All the required codes are merged to main branch, and can create ZFS-based images by specifying `VMFS=zfs`.
+** Need to make the build process more automatic and collaborating with release engineering to start generating snapshots.
+* Building and publishing Hyper-V gen2 VM images to Azure Marketplace
+* Building and publishing snapshot builds to Azure community gallery
+
+The above tasks are sponsored by The FreeBSD Foundation, with resources provided by Microsoft.
+
+Wei Hu and Souradeep Chakrabarti in Microsoft are working on several tasks sponsored by Microsoft:
+
+* Porting Hyper-V guest support to aarch64
+** https://bugs.freebsd.org/267654
+** https://bugs.freebsd.org/272461
+
+Open tasks:
+
+* Update FreeBSD related doc at link:https://learn.microsoft.com[Microsoft Learn]
+* Support FreeBSD in link:https://azure.microsoft.com/products/devops/pipelines/[Azure Pipelines]
+* Update link:https://www.freshports.org/sysutils/azure-agent[Azure agent port] to the latest version
+* Upstream link:https://github.com/Azure/WALinuxAgent/pull/1892[local modifications of Azure agent]
