+
+FreeBSD is available on both x86 (Intel and AMD) and ARM64 (Graviton) EC2
+instances. Work continues to ensure that upcoming instance types will be
+supported, including the recently announced M7a "EPYC" instances, which
+should be supported in FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE.
+
+Weekly FreeBSD snapshots were recently changed from "UEFI" boot mode to
+"UEFI Preferred" boot mode, allowing them to gain the boot performance
+improvement offered by UEFI while still supporting "bare metal" and
+"previous generation" instance types which are not compatible with UEFI.
+This change will be present in FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE.
+
+The EC2 boot scripts were recently updated to support IMDSv2. This change
+will be present in FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE.
+
+If users of FreeBSD 13.2 require any of these updates, the author can provide
+FreeBSD "13.2-RELEASE plus updates" AMIs.
+
+This work is supported by Colin's FreeBSD/EC2 Patreon.
