Bottlerocket now supports AWS Neuron accelerated instance types

Today, AWS announced that Bottlerocket, the Linux-based operating system purpose-built for containers, now supports AWS Neuron-powered instances with its Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) and Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) AMIs. Customers using Bottlerocket AMIs can now deploy and manage machine learning inference and training workloads on AWS Neuron accelerated instance types, including Inf1, Inf2, Trn1, and Trn2. EKS customers can use these Bottlerocket AMIs with Karpenter version 1.2.2 and above.

This integration enables automated device management and scheduling capabilities while maintaining Bottlerocket's focus on security and operational simplicity. Customers can leverage the standard Bottlerocket AMIs to deploy workloads on Neuron instances, with the ability to configure device ownership and resource allocation through familiar container orchestration interfaces.

Bottlerocket support for AWS Neuron-powered instances is available in all AWS Regions where Inf1, Inf2, Trn1, and Trn2 instances are offered. To get started, see the Bottlerocket User Guide.
