Pre-made AMIs

The following AMIs are publicly available. You can use them to start a NetBSD instance quickly.

They come with src and pkgsrc bundled under /usr/src/ and /usr/pkgsrc/ respectively, or a bootstrap script to help fetch them when necessary. The bootstrap script can also be used to set up binary packages support using pkgin(1).

Starting with the NetBSD 7.0 AMIs, the images have a very small disk by default. If you launch it with a larger disk, it will resize the root file system on initial boot (through /etc/rc.d/resize_root), expanding it to the full size of your primary disk. The 6.x AMIs default to a 5GB root file system, and do not currently auto-expand.

Note: these AMIs send an email to the maintainer on first launch, to help gauge usage.
