Amazon Linux vs. FreeBSD

we were having one scenario in which we have to install one application bundle to 7000 machines with Amazon Linux and it’s coming pre-installed with Amazon agent where we have installed and deployed the software very easily with system manager to the Amazon Linux. sometimes what it happens with SSM manager do not response and it goes off-line on Amazon Linux os frequently

FreeBSD is an excellent choice to continue using older hardware and have it perform, it is a great choice for a UNIX based development environment. Although I haven't used it as a server, it is most suited for this - it would make an excellent, secure and robust server for and I would love to start using it for this as well.

• Security and kernel update
• Repository management with Amazon Linux repo
• Easy and convenient usage for beginners as well as professional guys.
• Pre-installed with Amazon command line interface to interact with multiple services of AWS

Incentivized

• stability
• security
• scalability

• There should be a graphical user interface because there is only command line interface available for this os
• File transfer problem with other operating systems
• Needs tools which should be pre-installed for network connectivity, checking like telnet etc.

Incentivized

• Installation can be tricky for first timers
• You need to be comfortable using a command line terminal most of the time

I have not found much issues with Amazon Linux when it comes to Compare operating systems as we can use basically everything on this Amazon machines and comes with rubber support AWS documentation on how to work with the Amazon Linux machine very minimal downtime or impact to operating system when it comes to crashing or rebooting due to some issues.

Amazon Linux is very well suited when it comes to a very light operating system with all the features, high-performance in hardware congestion and good support from the Amazon. Others do have a support and good working features, but at lakhs a little bit when it compared with Amazon Linux in terms of performance and usage of the os.

FreeBSD is the closest to the original BSD unix. This OS is currently used by vendors in the field of routing, switching, security as well as base OS for MAC devies.

• Return of investment is much better than other operating system as we get robust Support along with OS license
• When we compare cost of Amazon Linux with other Linux operating system, then we founded, it was much cheaper and efficient in performance as well as costing for Amazon machines
• Software updates, deployment and tasks are very well handled with any hardware specifications, whether it is on very high higher specification or when it comes to low with huge workload

Incentivized

• As FreeBSD is free - the ROI is at least the cost of some commercial Linux or Windows based OS (which can be very expensive)
• Allowed the re-use of older hardware that would have otherwise been disposed
• No cost development environment
• Opportunity for a no cost server setup also
