This simplified experience, alongside previously announced bootstrap commands makes ramp-up process easier to help more users benefit from Bottlerocket, one of the 4 pillars of Bottlerocket's development plan. aws.amazon.com/blogs/containe…

Most users will no longer need to maintain custom bootstrap container images and can rely upon default the image maintained by the Bottlerocket team. This allows users to focus on their startup scripts rather than container image maintenance and regional availability.

Bottlerocket has extended the simplicity of its host containers to bootstrap containers, making it easier to handle pre-startup tasks such as pre-fetching large AI/ML models, validating GPU, and executing diagnostic scripts. aws.amazon.com/about-aws/what…

This capability allows sysadmins to maximize GPU resource utilization by running multiple workloads simultaneously on a single GPU while maintaining hardware-level isolation between workloads.

Following up on the GPU time-slicing feature launched last October, Bottlerocket has added support for NVIDIA's Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) feature, enabling users to partition NVIDIA GPUs into multiple GPU instances on Kubernetes nodes. aws.amazon.com/about-aws/what…

EKS users can use these Bottlerocket AMIs with EKS Managed Node Groups, self-managed nodes, and Karpenter. Supporting Bottlerocket across all EC2 instance types and regions is an important pillar of Bottlerocket's development plan. aws.amazon.com/blogs/containe…

Bottlerocket has added support for AWS Neuron-powered instances with its EKS and ECS AMIs. You can now run ML inference and training workloads on AWS Neuron accelerated instance types including Inf1, Inf2, Trn1, and Trn2. aws.amazon.com/about-aws/what…

Finch, the #opensource container development tool, added support for Linux. You can now use Finch on Linux, macOS, or Windows. Finch also provides a daemon, so you can use Finch even with your existing applications that depend on REST APIs. aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensour…

We’re excited to announce that Finch, an open source client for container development, now supports Windows. Container developers on Windows can now use Finch to build, run, and publish containers. #aws #containers aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensour…

containerd 2.0 is coming soon and includes some breaking changes (feature removals). See samuel.karp.dev/blog/2024/01/d… for a new deprecation warning feature that can help you prepare.

Folks, anyone looking for a gig working with Container-Optimized OS - BottleRocket? PTAL amazon.jobs/en/jobs/251057… @AWSOpen #BottleRocket @NeelendraB_ @estesp

We’re finally at the start of the containerd 2.0 release timeline! If you are at #KubeCon come check out the containerd project update that @derekmcgowan and I will be giving (with lots of 2.0 content) in the LAST SLOT of KubeCon breakouts this Thursday 😅

In November 2022, #AWS announced Finch, an #opensource project and a CLI developer tool to build, run, publish Linux containers on macOS. Thanks to the efforts of the Finch team and the community, Finch has reached its 1.0 milestone for GA. aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensour…

Bottlerocket 1.15.0 is out now with new #kubernetes 1.28 and #ecs variants, and new features such as CIS benchmark report, secure boot support. Check out this #opensource, purpose-built OS for running container workloads github.com/bottlerocket-o… #AWS #eks

Inspired by @estesp's talk on CRI & container runtimes at #KCDDC2023, I wrote an article for those who are afraid of the specification of container images. Check it out and let me know what you think: hackernoon.com/give-me-a-unix…

Released nerdctl (@contaiNERD CTL) v1.5, with support for Compose v2 and SOCI. Thanks to more than 20 contributors in this release. github.com/containerd/ner…

Released OCI Runtime Spec v1.1 opencontainers.org/posts/blog/202… github.com/opencontainers… @OCI_ORG

The #opensource SOCI technology, which we introduced last September, enables a container to start without waiting for the entire container image to be downloaded.

Excited to share that AWS Fargate now supports SOCI technology to help applications deploy and scale out faster. aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/aws-…

Thanks to the work by Kyle Davis and Bottlerocket team at #awscloud , Bottlerocket, the free and #opensource OS optimized for hosting containers, has a cool website. Check it out at bottlerocket.dev
