I am from AWS. Could we please change the title to say “Bottlerocket from AWS“. Like Firecracker [1] it’s explicitly not AWS branded. 1. https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker
Could you come up with a better name than bottle rocket?
It's getting largely a positive response out there: https://twitter.com/alexwilliams/status/1237773085039722496

Always. I just wanted to do it before msw :)
Honestly this reply was worth the karma loss. Hi Matt!
We know this is how you show you care. I don't think there was any reason to downvote or flag. But not everyone on the Orange Site knows one another, so I can see how it could be misinterpreted.
A link to the actual source code (90% Rust) and README: https://github.com/bottlerocket-os/bottlerocket And here is a post from AWS with more technical details: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/bottlerocket-open-source-os...
Given that Red Hat recently killed CoreOS, it's great to see new alternatives coming up. I cannot wait to give it a spin!

Not even once ... https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-coreos/
That first needs to prove itself in practice, so far it seems more like a desperate try to tie it to Fedora and have it catch up with the popularity in cloud of the likes of Ubuntu and to eventually have people paying by locking into RHEL CoreOS.
I'm curious about why Bottlerocket is building base packages like glibc, bash, util-linux, etc. from source, rather than just pulling binary RPMs from CentOS or Amazon Linux.

Containers don't have a 5% performance hit.
That sounds good but I’ll believe it when I see it. There aren’t many desktop container/sandbox implementations out there and most are “vm light” e.g the windows sandbox and sandboxie. I haven’t seen anything more lightweight that can run desktop apps (in Windows at least).

Windows store apps are one example.
How does this compare to Linuxkit? At first glance it seems almost identical but I may be missing something. https://www.github.com/linuxkit/linuxkit
Linuxkit allows you to build your own appliance like OS, while Bottlerocket is more of an end user project. A project that is more similar to Bottlerocket is https://www.talos.dev or https://www.projectatomic.io
