 Arian | PSA I'll be dropping BIOS support from our AMIs asap | 21:02:22 |
| Arian | Amazon moved free tier to nitro only. So no need anymore for legacy cruft | 21:02:32 |
| Arian | I'll add an entry to release notes that you'll need to manually specify grub boot loader in your configuration.nix if you don't want to recreate your instances | 21:03:18 |

| Arian | Has anyone had issues with updating to nixos unstable? I had one report of not being able to find root disk after update anymore. I personally cant reproduce. Wonder if its instance type specific | 09:47:20 |
| Arian | Dropping of BIOS has been delayed. I didn't realize that many people use NixOS on bare metal instances for nixos tests and bare metal is BIOS only :(( | 09:48:07 |

 commiterate | wait what? I thought all newer instance types (metal included) supported UEFI | 01:17:43 |
| commiterate |
All instances built on the AWS Nitro System support both UEFI and Legacy BIOS, except the following: bare metal instances, DL1, G4ad, P4, u-3tb1, u-6tb1, u-9tb1, u-12tb1, u-18tb1, u-24tb1, and VT1. For more information, see Determine the supported boot modes of an EC2 instance type.

 p14 | Can confirm need for bare metal on x86 and lack of uefi boot there. | 10:26:36 |

| Arian | Except the following: bare metal instances | 20:10:17 |
| Arian | Graviton bare metal does support UEFI | 20:10:30 |
| Arian | But x86 does not :(( | 20:10:36 |
