The site should probably say somewhere that this was built for AWS and AWS only.

Instead it says:

> Bottlerocket is installed as the base operating system on the machine or instance where your containers themselves are running.

> Bottlerocket runs in the cloud or in your datacenter.

On the GitHub repo (https://github.com/bottlerocket-os/bottlerocket), there are instructions for using it on VMware and bare metal:

On one hand it seems like an ncurses tool to install to a disk seems appropriate. On the other hand, the number of times one of these images would be configured for a company is probably pretty small.

I’ll have to spend a bit more time, but this seems like a nice option for orgs that want to run on-prem (e.g. not in cloud), and have a low maintenance container host.
