Often gets lost in the release notes - deploying on Google cloud is super easy: % gcloud compute instances create INSTANCE --image freebsd-11-0-release-p1-amd64 --image-project=freebsd-org-cloud-dev % gcloud compute ssh INSTANCE

Wow, nice. Do you know how straightforward it is to get it with ZFS?

A couple things HN users might be excited about: * Docker via ZFS and jails (...running Linux x84-64 binaries): https://wiki.freebsd.org/Docker --- (See also, https://github.com/3ofcoins/jetpack ) * Add support for trackpads found in Apple MacBook products: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=26126... * CloudABI executable support: https://nuxi.nl/cloudabi/freebsd/ This is an awesome release.

Unfortunately the Docker daemon support never got merged upstream. It would be great if someone would work on that.

ZFS is native in FreeBSD, so it is exactly as straightforward as the above.

I see they fixed the kernel panics when destroying vnet jails but is vnet enabled by default? Or do I have to compile a custom kernel like with FreeBSD 10.x

Also, support for running Apple's Swift language.

Don't forget zfsd[1]! Graphics support for bhyve is also pretty spiffy. [1]: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=30090...

Is this a unique feature or how is this handled on illumos or Solaris?

I still have hope some or all HardendedBSD features might get ported or reimplemented in FreeBSD 12. Too much low hanging fruit, and now that linux has been steadily closing the gap to grsec, the competition in mainstream kernel branches is on.
