Hi, I've been working on getting FreeBSD working well in Google Compute Engine. So far I've written a script to build an image, it's available here: https://github.com/swills/FreeBSD-gcloud/blob/master/build_google_image.sh (If you've seen this before, I just did a bunch of updates that made it a bit nicer.) Google doesn't allow non-official public images, but you can share the file used to create an image. There is a file that can be used to create an image here: http://storage.googleapis.com/swills-test-bucket/FreeBSD-10.1-RELEASE-amd64-20141224021135.tar.gz That was built using the latest version of this script. You can use this to create an image with a command like: gcutil addimage freebsd-101-release-amd64-20141224021135 gs://swills-test-bucket/FreeBSD-10.1-RELEASE-amd64-20141224021135.tar.gz (this is using the net/google-cloud-sdk port) This script and the images created by it are still a work in progress. I do plan to try to integrate this with gjb's release bits, much the way Colin's doing with his EC2 AMI patches. There is currently a known issue with rebooting that's triggered by freebsd-update that I'm working on figuring out. I'd welcome any feedback or comments. Steve
