For a project similar to bottlerocket, checkout https://github.com/talos-systems/talos. It is geared for cloud, VMware, and bare metal users. We have integrations with Cluster API for each, with the bare metal provider being our implementation: https://github.com/talos-systems/sidero. Full disclosure, I am the CTO of Talos Systems.

Hi I'm a developer advocate in the container engineering org at AWS. I think there are a few misunderstandings here that I may be able to explain better. First Bottlerocket is not Amazon Linux 2, it is its own minimal operating system, with most components built from the ground up in Rust. This is totally different than the Amazon Linux 2 you may be familiar with (and most other operating systems for that matter). Bo…
Could bottlerocket be the basis for desktop system where it would be easy to switch between isolated environments? It would be very handy to have a maximally secure environment, at least from software perspective, for certain operations.
As _underfl0w_ said, you're pretty much describing Qubes. Using it can be eye opening--nothing works together unless you let it, which is a good way to get a feel for your attack surface / unknown dependencies.
Qubes uses VM's. Subgraph OS is another option. It tries to achieve the same thing with containers, but their latest release is pretty old--not sure how alive that project is.

What userspace do you see written in Rust?

That honestly sounds terrible, and apparently only works on ECS. What a shame. I was thinking that AWS was actually going to provide something useful to the open source community.

As a former CoreOS (now Red Hat) employee, I'm glad to hear of your success with the product and it's awesome to see that scale giving you time back in your day to concentrate on the big picture.
Not at all happy with things right now. You guys abruptly killed CoreOS which was great and left us to fend for ourselves. Fedora CoreOS doesn’t cut it and we don’t want open shift. We will need to move to either bottle-rocket or flatcar. A team member evaluated both and we leaning towards b-rocket since flatcar has a higher risk of dying by running out of funding during COVID (seen this movie before with CoreOS). Am…
Have you guys taken a look at Talos?

#135So, is this available as an ISO? I currently run an Ubuntu VM in bhyve on my FreeNAS home-server to host various containers for experiments, etc... could I run this instead or is it tied to AWS?
Talos (similar goals as bottlerocket) supports bare metal installs...
