There aren't many of them in the #AWS environment; some are broken and some are old, so I decided to use the information below:

https://www.netmeister.org/blog/creating-netbsd-ec2-amis.html
https://www.netmeister.org/blog/netbsd-amd64-ami.html

After minor tweaks, I compiled and publicly released the following #AMI.
These aren't official images, but I'd appreciate feedback from anyone using #AWS on whether everything is OK or if something is wrong.
You might be using #AWS and didn't know the latest images were available. Now you know :-)

For me personally, #NetBSD works very well as a small instance with #AWS #Graviton2 Processor which is quite cheap after good cost optimization in #AWS.

      Reading about the changes in 11.0, in particular npf and kernel changes to improve SMP, really very interesting.

            I think I'm a NetBSD person now.

            Linux has seriously overshot on complexity, that happened a while ago. Computers in general have way overshot on complexity, but if you want to still use them you need an OS that can work the machinery. NetBSD hits a sweet spot. This is mostly subjective, and my knowledge of OSs is not comprehensive, so do not put a lot of weight on these statements.

                  Mission accomplished, it seems!
                  I must have messed something up during `sysupgrade` and `etcupdate` because my user was no longer in the `wheel` group, but luckily it wasn't a big deal (thanks usermod)

                  Then I updated pkgsrc with `cvs update -dP` and edited `/usr/pkg/etc/pkgin/repositories.conf` to change the release number.

                  I hope that’s correct!
                  The update of all packages was successful, so I’m assuming it is.

                  Is it normal that `pkgin upgrade` re-download and reinstall all packages, even those that are already the same version?

                  I'd say the overall experience has been very positive.

                  P.S. `i3status` gives me an error if I use UTF-8 "icons" (it worked with 10.1), but it's not really a big deal.

                      " When I was in graduate school, I was doing a lot of molecular dynamics simulations, but I did not have access to a lot of high-performance hardware. The math department had a 4-node Cray that was impossible to reserve time on, and the CS department had a 16-node Dell cluster that ran SGE and was decently reliable. When those resources ended up not being enough for my crazy array of tasks, I got resourceful and started gathering every single outdated CPU anyone anywhere on campus was getting rid of or had no use for, and built my own cluster in our lab. Before finishing my Ph.D. I had 12 SGI Indys, 8 PowerMac G3 6300s, 10 PowerMac G3 7600s, and 20+ Dell P3 towers in my "cluster".

                          It actually seemed even worse than before. Now if I am in session as the default came with , after waking up from an S3 suspend, X session is lost with a blank screen, not even a cursor. wsconscfg -w switching away and back does not bring it back either. WiFi seems to be on and off as I saw before.

Also this reddit post Suspend trouble on Thinkpad X270 (and maybe others) could be similar too. I saw other posts else where too but did not find any fix yet. I though thinkpad was already receiving more attention generally in BSD dev but seems suspend/resume issue still is common among many.

                              Still no good news with the freshly out 11.0 RELEASE. S3 suspend woke up with dead WiFi (Intel 8265, iwm driver), in addition to keyboard and touchpad as before on my T470s. So basically dead machine and no way to reset unless long press power button for a hard reboot. Desktop usability needs more love.

                                🚩 NetBSD 11.0 a fost lansat: Suport nativ pentru RISC-V și compatibilitate îmbunătățită cu Linux!

                                Noul update major al istoricului sistem de operare din familia BSD, NetBSD 11.0, este acum disponibil oficial, aducând îmbunătățiri remarcabile pe partea de suport hardware, performanță și securitate.

                                ✨ Ce aduce nou NetBSD 11.0:

                                🏗️ Arhitectură RISC-V extinsă:
                                • Suport complet și îmbunătățit pentru hardware-ul bazat pe arhitectura deschisă RISC-V (atât pe 64 de biți, cât și pe 32 de biți), extinzând portabilitatea legendară a sistemului.

                                🐧 Compatibilitate mai bună cu pachetele Linux:
                                • Stratul de compatibilitate COMPAT_LINUX a primit actualizări majore, permițând rularea mai multor aplicații și utilitare native de Linux pe un kernel NetBSD.

                                ⚡ Drivere și stivă grafică modernizate:
                                • Drivere grafice actualizate pentru procesoarele grafice moderne Intel, AMD și NVIDIA, oferind suport mai bun pentru accelerarea 3D și monitoare de înaltă rezoluție.

                                🔒 Măsuri avansate de securitate:
                                • Îmbunătățiri la nivelul kernelului pentru prevenirea exploatării vulnerabilităților de memorie (ASLR extins, măsuri mai severe de izolare a proceselor).

                                🛠️ Sistem de fișiere și rețea:
                                • Optimizări de performanță pentru FFS (Fast File System) și ZFS, alături de îmbunătățiri ale stack-ului de rețea IPv4/IPv6.

                                Conform celebrului lor motto "Of course it runs NetBSD", noua versiune demonstrează încă o dată flexibilitatea incredibilă a acestui sistem de operare! 🚀

                                                  A little 'pkgin -V -4 upgrade' and everything is working perfectly.
