Description

Per the Bottlerrocket repo: "Bottlerocket is a free and open-source Linux-based operating system meant for hosting containers."

Some users have asked about Sysbox on Bottlerocket, which currently supports kernel 5.15 (which should include the ID-mapped-mounts feature).

This issue tracks the investigation of this. There is an issue on the Bottlerocket repo asking about this too.
