Build Changes

v1.15.0 (2023-09-18)

Major Features

This release brings support for Secure Boot on platforms using UEFI boot; the Linux 6.1 kernel; systemd-networkd and systemd-resolved for host networking; and XFS as the filesystem for local storage.

These features are enabled by default in the new variants. Existing variants will continue to use earlier kernels, wicked for host networking, and EXT4 as the filesystem for local storage.

Known Incompatibilities

  • Variants using the 6.1 kernel (aws-ecs-2/aws-ecs-2-nvidia, aws-k8s-1.28/aws-k8s-1.28-nvidia, vmware-k8s-1.28, and metal-k8s-1.28) do not support LustreFS (#3459)

Deprecation Notice

The functionality to apply a hotpatch for log4j CVE-2021-44228 has been removed. The corresponding setting, settings.oci-hooks.log4j-hotpatch-enabled, is still available for backwards compatibility. However, it has no effect beyond printing a deprecation warning to the system logs. (#3401)

Note: in the Bottlerocket v1.0.8 release, for the aws-k8s-1.20 and aws-k8s-1.21 variants, we set the default Kubernetes CPU manager policy to "static". We heard from several users that this breaks usage of the Fluent Bit log processor. In Bottlerocket v1.1.3, we've changed the default back to "none", but have added a setting so you can use the "static" policy if desired. To do so, set settings.kubernetes.cpu-manager-policy to "static". To do this in user data, for example, pass the following:

[settings.kubernetes]
cpu-manager-policy = "static"

v1.1.1 (2021-05-19)

Security fixes

v1.1.0 (2021-05-07)

Deprecation Notice

The Kubernetes 1.16 variant, aws-k8s-1.16, will lose support in July, 2021. Kubernetes 1.16 is no longer receiving support upstream. We recommend replacing aws-k8s-1.16 nodes with a later variant, preferably aws-k8s-1.19 if your cluster supports it. See this issue for more details.

Important Notes

New variants with new defaults

This release introduces two new variants, aws-k8s-1.20 and vmware-k8s-1.20. We plan for all new variants, including these, to contain the following changes:

  • The kernel is Linux 5.10 rather than 5.4.
  • The kernel lockdown mode is set to "integrity" rather than "none".

The ECS preview variant, aws-ecs-1, has also been updated with these changes.

Existing aws-k8s variants will not receive these changes as they could affect existing workloads.

ECS task networking

The aws-ecs-1 variant now supports the awsvpc mode of ECS task networking. This allocates an elastic network interface and private IP address to each task.

OS Changes

  • Add Linux kernel 5.10 for use in new variants (#1526)

Note: these changes do not impact users of Bottlerocket AMIs or repos, only those who build Bottlerocket themselves.

Please see the updated Infra.toml.example file for a commented explanation of the new role and key configuration.

v0.2.0 (2019-12-09)

Breaking changes

  • Several settings now have added validation for their contents. Upgrades from v0.1 that use invalid settings values will result in a broken system.
    • Host container names (e.g. admin in settings.host-containers.admin) are restricted to ASCII alphanumeric characters and hyphens (#450).
    • settings.kubernetes.api-server, settings.updates.metadata-base-url and target-base-url, settings.host-containers.*.sources, and settings.ntp.time-servers are now validated to be URIs (#549).

    • Most settings values disallow multi-line strings (#453, #483).
  • Additional characters are permitted in API keys; for example, dots and slashes in Kubernetes labels. Downgrades from v0.2 that use dots and slashes in API keys will result in a broken system (#511).

  • Persist SSH host keys for admin container (#450).
  • Use admin container v0.2 by default (#450, #536).

  • Update Linux kernel to 4.19.75-27.58.amzn2 (#478).
  • Updated partitions are marked successful after services start (#481).
  • Kernel config is available at /proc/config.gz (#482).
