  • You need to restrict private key file permission to yourself only, e.g. "chmod 600 <private_keyfile>" on Linux/MacOS

FreeBSD is not a supported OS by VM Import.

Instead, you can do a snapshot import. Command is something like

aws ec2 import-snapshot --description "FreeBSD" --disk-container "file://file.json"

Do ensure that your FreeBSD image has necessary drivers to run on AWS hypervisor. This can be nvme driver, ENA driver and Xen PV drivers. After import is done, go to EC2 console, snapshots to create AMI image and launch it.

Alternatively, you can launch a FreeBSD instance from AWS Marketplace
