I don't know how actually tied in it is, but it's not totally surprising to me that it's built for AWS infrastructure.

That being said:

Very exciting!

While our first variant is focused on Kubernetes and EKS, we have designed Bottlerocket in a way that new variants can be built that work with other orchestrators, or even without one (we have ECS support on our roadmap already). Also, we really enjoyed working in Rust for big chunks of this!

Glad to hear it! Please reach out if you need anything :)

So is the idea that people create a Bottlerocket AMI and use that as their EKS worker node images? Is that correct?

Correct! Or you can spin up one of the AMIs we've already built. You can find current AMIs via public SSM parameters: https://github.com/bottlerocket-os/bottlerocket/blob/develop...
