BSDploy – FreeBSD jail provisioning

Anecdatum; I'm moving our CentOS/RHEL Linux systems to FreeBSD over the coming two years.

Databases/Fileservers/Firewalls/Webservers etc;

So it's making a comeback, at least in my 11,000+ person org. :D

I do feel like it has a comparative advantage in all of those spaces. ZFS, jails, and pf are all killer features for all of those spaces. The only possible draw back is it requires your IT staff know the technologies. What a company saves on licensing easily makes up for the staff wages though...maybe.

Good to hear! FreeBSD is my favorite OS and I wish I could use it at work, but were a CentOS/RHEL and Windows shop. However the security team has a handful of FreeBSD servers going, so it is used.
