Hi Colin, Here is what I currently run 24/7 on AWS with FreeBSD (non Marketplace AMI); 4 x t3a.nano (FreeBSD-12.2) 1 x t3a.micro (FreeBSD-12.2) I try move to newer instance types where possible (and stable) as they generally offer the same or higher performance for less cost. I haven't moved to FreeBSD-13 yet as I'm allowing time for any issues to be ironed out, hopefully in 13.1 (such as that TSC timecounter fix). Next move might be onto the t4g (Graviton/ARM) instances but haven't properly tested them yet. I personally would prefer the faster booting with UEFI rather than supporting older instance types which will eventually become obsolete anyway. Thanks, James
