Little-known fact: like Google Fuchsia, Bottlerocket uses The Update Framework (TUF)[1][2] to securely update itself!

tough is one of the actual oss gems behind bottle rocket thats reusable in non aws contexts.. bottle rocket probably can be but likely that will always be a second class citizen, and afaics completely undocumented for usage outside of aws atm.

Really glad you like our tough (TUF) library!

As far as running in non-AWS contexts, we haven't had time to head down that path yet, but as I mentioned in an earlier post, we've tried to build Bottlerocket in a way that it can be extended to work outside of AWS either as VMs or even bare metal. In fact, a few of the engineers on the team have been playing with getting it running on their RaspberryPi's at home :)
