Probably the performance will be poor. > Actually FreeBSD now runs on Amazon using HVM. http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2012-01-16-FreeBSD-now-on-all-EC2-instance-types.html I guess something similar can be done with dragonfly as well. Currently Amazon detects HVM instances as Windows instances and charge you the MS windows licence fee. Recently I attended a training by Amazon in Bangalore and I raised this issue during the Question & Answer session to the Amazon folks. The reply I got was that this work to get FreeBSD running without the additional cost is in their to-do list but it is not of high priority. To make them increase the priority one thing that can be done is for users to mention or request it in their forums. The discussions happening in the forums adds to the priority of a task. So I guess the user group can make this happen fast if the requirements are made known in their forum. https://forums.aws.amazon.com/forum.jspa?forumID=30 Thanks Siju
