The docker containers can have shell scripts inside. The host machine doesn't have a shell. You can bring a docker container with a shell, and run it privileged, to have a shell on the host machine.

You can also launch an admin container and type `sudo sheltie` in it to get a root shell on the bottlerocket host OS if you need to debug things.

We've been using Bottlerocket together with its update operator on K8s for about a year now and we are really happy with it as it solves patch management by swapping out an immutable host OS image instead.
