Bottlerocket OS

Adopt

Bottlerocket is a Linux distribution sponsored and supported by AWS and is purpose-built for hosting container workloads.

The primary components of Bottlerocket include:

  • Minimal OS that includes the Linux kernel, system software, and containerd as the container runtime.
  • Atomic update mechanism to apply and rollback OS updates in a single step.
  • Integrations with container orchestrators, such as Kubernetes, to manage and orchestrate updates.
  • “Admin container” that can be optionally run for advanced troubleshooting and debugging.
