I am from AWS. Could we please change the title to say “Bottlerocket from AWS“. Like Firecracker [1] it’s explicitly not AWS branded.

Speaking of branding, I've some questions:

1. When are services branded as AWS (AWS Fargate) vs Amazon (Amazon DynamoDB)?

2. Is BottleRocket a nod to SkyRocket [0] or a movie of the same name?

3. Why is it called Fargate [1]?

To answer your first question, AFAIK, standalone services that can be used on their own are prefixed with Amazon (eg S3, EC2, DDB), whereas services that are deeply integrated into AWS ecosystem are prefixed with AWS.

Disclaimer: I work for AWS, but this is not an official answer. What I said is correct to my best knowledge, but I cannot guarantee its correctness/accuracy.

Firecracker, Bottlerocket :).

On Fargate, you got the answer there.

Not just any movie, an absolutely terrific movie. Wes Anderson's first and best.

"Bottlerocket from AWS" sounds like a commercial. I've just taken AWS out of the title above.

That makes sense. Thanks a ton

Could you come up with a better name than bottle rocket?

Disclosure: I work for AWS, and I approve of the name "Bottlerocket". :-)

It's getting largely a positive response out there: https://twitter.com/alexwilliams/status/1237773085039722496
