Video encoding and transcoding are critical workloads for media and entertainment companies. Delivering high-quality video content to viewers across devices and networks needs efficient and scalable encoding infrastructure. As video resolutions continue to increase to 4K and 8K, GPU acceleration is essential to real-time encoding workflows where parallel encoding tasks are necessary. Although encoding on […]

Introduction Containers have become the go-to solution for deploying modern and scalable applications. The boot time of these containers can present a significant challenge, particularly when dealing with workloads that require large container images. For instance, data analytics and machine learning workloads often involve images that exceed 1 GiB in size. When running these types […]

Introduction Bottlerocket is a security focused operating system (OS) image that provides out-of-the-box security options to protect host or worker nodes. While Bottlerocket is useful, the security of the pods and the containers is still the responsibility of the application developer or provider. KubeArmor, a CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) sandbox project, is a runtime […]

Last year, we announced the general availability of the Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)-optimized Bottlerocket AMI. Bottlerocket is an open source project that focuses on security and maintainability, providing a reliable and consistent Linux distribution for hosting container-based workloads. Now, we are happy to announce that you can now run ECS NVIDIA GPU-accelerated workloads […]

Today, we are happy to announce that Bottlerocket, a Linux-based, open-source, container-optimized operating system, now supports NVIDIA GPUs for accelerated computing workloads. You can now use NVIDIA-based Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance types with Bottlerocket to accelerate your machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI), and similar workloads that require GPU compute devices. This release […]

With the recent launch of Bottlerocket support for Managed Node Groups in Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), I wanted to take the opportunity to talk about Bottlerocket and its features. At a previous point in my career, I was one of many engineers working on a commercial UNIX operating system. Linux established itself as […]
