Abstract

FreeBSD is a compelling operating system for the ARM64 platform with its recent addition of bhyve ("beehive") hypervisor support and its traditional tightly-integrated features including OpenZFS, Jail, DTrace, Packet Filter, and pkg. This talk will provide an authoritative introduction to FreeBSD features and uses with a focus on the ARM64 platform.
