+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.
+Graphs of boot performance over time are now being generated and published automatically.
+
+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.
