While waiting for resources, I link:https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=269767[debugged a boot panic] and got it fixed: gitref:499171a98c8813e4dc6e085461d5c47750efa555[repository=src].
This now makes it possible to boot FreeBSD on LXD -- cloud-init's CI platform.
-We still need to fix the link:https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=269823[the high CPU usage problem], but there is already an accepted review: link:https://reviews.freebsd.org/D38898[D38898]

A cloud-init colleague who works for Azure managed to give me access to an link:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/architecture/topics/high-performance-computing[HPC VM on Azure].
Unfortunately, it was only for a limited time, and that was not enough to figure out how to get Infiniband up and running on FreeBSD — a task handled by link:https://github.com/Azure/WALinuxAgent/[Azure Agent] on Linux, but FreeBSD's package:sysutils/azure-agent[] is rather lacking.
