NetBSD 9.0 update

As the new major release of NetBSD being rolled, PaulBSD upgraded legacy production in Normandy to NetBSD 9.0 which provides new fun features as below :

  • Hardware accelerated virtualization based on NVMM
  • New version of NPF for packet filtering
  • New ARM based boards
  • Stable ZFS implementation

Full changelog is available here

As said in the past, services hosted on NetBSD legacy hardware will be migrated on both amd64 and arm64 cloud instances at Scaleway.

Services like Windows based instances will be migrated on NVMM on legacy hardware.

Maybe new Golang written tools will be available on these Windows servers, with fun !
