I'm curious about why Bottlerocket is building base packages like glibc, bash, util-linux, etc. from source, rather than just pulling binary RPMs from CentOS or Amazon Linux.
Amazon Linux and CentOS are general-purpose distributions and need more features built into the base packages than we do for Bottlerocket. We’re able to simplify the spec files and produce smaller RPMs with only the content and dependencies necessary for our more narrow goals.
