Why Bottlerocket?
Bottlerocket is a Linux-based open-source operating system that is purpose-built by Amazon Web Services for running containers. Bottlerocket includes only the essential software required to run containers, and ensures that the underlying software is always secure. With Bottlerocket, customers can reduce maintenance overhead and automate their workflows by applying configuration settings consistently as nodes are upgraded or replaced.
Bottlerocket is now generally available at no cost as an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2).

Veeva Systems
Veeva Systems is the leader in cloud-based software for the global life sciences industry. We run a variety of containerized microservices on a development cluster built entirely on Bottlerocket nodes. We adopted Bottlerocket because we wanted a streamlined container OS with better resource efficiency, enhanced security, and reduced management overhead. The transition to Bottlerocket was a seamless experience and it has largely been a drop-in replacement for our other EKS nodes.
-
Sumo Logic
Sumo Logic is an AWS-native SaaS analytics platform that helps companies ensure application reliability, secure and protect against modern threats, and gain insights into their cloud infrastructures. On a continuous mission to refine the efficiency, reliability, and security of its operations, Sumo Logic adopted Bottlerocket as the standard image for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) nodes, resulting in a lower management overhead and improved compliance posture.

GetYourGuide
GetYourGuide is the booking platform for unforgettable travel experiences. Travelers use GetYourGuide to discover the best things to do at a destination — including walking tours by top local experts, local culinary tours, cooking and craft classes, skip-the-line tickets to the world’s most iconic attractions, bucket-list experiences and niche offerings you won’t usually find anywhere else. We chose Bottlerocket as the operating system for our Kubernetes clusters because it reduces node maintenance costs for us and improves our application security. Bottlerocket integrates seamlessly with EKS and the declarative approach to configure instances at startup ensures our node groups run with high reliability and consistency.

Swisscom
Swisscom is Switzerland's leading telecoms company and one of its leading IT companies. The vast majority of the workloads we run in the cloud are containerized and we have been promoting a Bottlerocket-first strategy for our Kubernetes clusters since the early stages of our AWS journey.
Today, all our EKS worker nodes are powered by Bottlerocket OS. We adopted Bottlerocket because it is engineered to do one thing right: run containers. Run containers securely, thanks to a variety of built-in controls that create a secure environment for our applications. Run containers more efficiently by including only the essential runtime software and thus improving the overall instance resource utilization. Run containers for a very long time, being an opensource, community-backed project, capable to cope with future requirements effectively.

PedidosYa
PedidosYa, a brand of the German multinational company Delivery Hero, is a leading online delivery company in Latin America that connects millions of people with thousands of restaurants, markets, pharmacies and other partners in 15 countries. PedidosYa engineering platform is based on a microservices architecture running on containers. We use Bottlerocket as the base OS for all the nodes of our Kubernetes clusters which run hundreds of microservices on top of them.
We decided to use Bottlerocket for several reasons:
Speed: due to the size and characteristics of our business, it is crucial for us to scale fast enough to provide our customers with an excellent experience. Our experience with Bottlerocket has been that startup time is about 20 seconds, which is great compared to the previous OS which was over 1.5 minutes.
Security: Bottlerocket is built to run containers, so it only has the needed software for this, and its attack surface is reduced to its minimum.
Maintenance: updates are delivered safely through the API, and rollbacks are easy and fast.
Easy to use: configuration and migration was straightforward for us. Migration from Docker runtime to containerd was really easy. -
Cordial
Cordial is a cross-channel marketing platform built to help marketers create unique and unified customer experiences across all channels. Cordial uses Bottlerocket OS for Kubernetes worker nodes across multiple EKS clusters, powering applications and ci-cd runners. We adopted Bottlerocket for the three main reasons:
1. Bottlerocket has faster boot times and helps us scale our k8s clusters and applications faster
2. Bottlerocket has a small attack surface
3. The TOML config format used by Bottlerocket makes customization of kubelet settings very simple
