I evaluated using FreeBSD for a project. The biggest challenge for me was I couldn't figure a way to fit modern DevOps into FreeBsd. OCI compliant containers are not supported. The best way I could come up with for a minimum blue-green deployment strategy was writing a ton of scripts myself. I can not imagine running a fleet of FreeBSD servers where a team of developers deploy 10+ times a week to a swarm of containers running micro services.
What solutions do other practitioners use with FreeBSD? Or do you abandon modern DevOps practices entirely and hold a meeting to determine partition sizes, provision servers to individual services running on specific named computers and plan for a software upgrade for weeks in advance of a deployment?
