04/23/2025, 4:26 PMBottlerocket is not a supported distro. I suspect it is too stripped down to work with the Rancher provisioning tools.

04/23/2025, 4:27 PMAre there plans to support it in the future given AL2 optimized EKS AMIs are being deprecated?

04/23/2025, 4:28 PMI would imagine that at least AL2023 will be added. You can keep an eye on the support matrix: https://www.suse.com/suse-rancher/support-matrix/all-supported-versions/rancher-v2-10-4/

04/23/2025, 4:32 PM@creamy-pencil-82913 one last question.. Is Bottlerocket not supported for RKE2, EKS or both?
shy-restaurant-94821
04/23/2025, 4:33 PMI ask, because my understanding is that EKS manages the underlying nodegroup instances; whereas Rancher is fully managing RKE2 node pools isntances.

04/23/2025, 4:45 PMDefinitely not supported for RKE2. I don’t know about EKS. I have poked some folks internally to see if there’s any info I can share about our roadmap for the AL2 EOL.

04/24/2025, 2:17 PMIt’d be great to get Bottlerocket support for the EKS operator as this is coming down the pipe.

04/24/2025, 4:35 PMI pulled the source for the EKS-operator from Github, and I think I added BottleRocket support. Is there anyone I can work with to contribute my changes?
