MAD24-111 *FreeBSD : Training the demon on arm64*

  • Tuesday, 14 May 16:30 - 16:55
  • Room: Session 1 | Las Palmas I

This talk covers about FreeBSD, an architecture agnostic Open Source distro and the advent of its enablement story in the Arm Open source group. FreeBSD is a standards compliant, Unix-like OS, enjoying a strong hold in the gaming Market, with its competitive strengths on flat, collaborative structure, excellent documentation and ease of use with the permissive license . Building on these strengths, the session dives deeper into the Arm software-led FreeBSD Roadmap with short term goals on core feature support – security, virtualization and Telemetry across commercially viable platforms and long term insight into gap analysis and futuristic planning to align the FreeBSD story closer with arm64 architecture evolution. Finally, the talk concludes with the advantages, myths and challenges around FreeBSD usage and the forward looking strategy not just to establish feature parity with Linux but also to leverage growth opportunities across different market segments.
