For now, we use the 12.0-RELEASE AMI Colin built (Thanks Colin!) and upgrade to 12.2, then make an AMI of it. If we want 13.0, we'll upgrade a copy and create another AMI. It's not painful, and it doesn't take long. There are other ways to do it, but being lazy I find that freebsd-update -r takes the least effort. Once you make a 'base' AMI, you don't have to deal with it again. [1] > https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-cloud/2019-February/000200.ht= ml --000000000000b76f2505ccb0f532--
