Bottlerocket – Minimal, immutable Linux OS with verified boot

https://bottlerocket.dev

Summary: Bottlerocket is a Linux-based OS optimized for hosting containers, designed to work with container orchestrators like Kubernetes. It has three main goals: minimalism, safe updates, and security focus. Bottlerocket uses variants to ensure compatibility with different orchestrators, platforms, and architectures. It doesn't have a shell or package manager, instead using privileged host containers and image-based updates. The OS is written in Rust and Golang, with built-in memory safety protection and an immutable root filesystem.

They encountered several issues and errors while working with these runtimes. Eventually, they managed to create a prototype that can decode jxl files and retrieve their data, but the process was challenging and time-consuming.
