+
+FreeBSD is available on both amd64 (Intel and AMD) and arm64 (Graviton) EC2 instances.
+
+In the past quarter, first boot performance of ZFS AMIs has been significantly improved, e.g. from about 22 seconds to about 11 seconds for 15.0 "base" AMIs on amd64.
+Graphs of boot performance over time are now being generated and published automatically; typical times are around 9-12 seconds for "base" and "small" AMIs and 14-18 seconds for "cloud-init" AMIs.
+
+On Graviton systems, the EC2 "shutdown" and "reboot" operations now work as intended (starting with FreeBSD 14.2).
+On Graviton systems, adding new devices (e.g. EBS volumes) while the system is running now works in HEAD and support is expected to be merged in time for FreeBSD 14.3.
