    Topgrade

    Topgrade

    Upgrade all the things

    Keeping your system up to date usually involves invoking multiple package managers. This results in big, non-portable shell one-liners saved in your shell. To remedy this, Topgrade detects which tools you use and runs the appropriate commands to update them.

    Bottlerocket OS

    Bottlerocket OS

    An operating system designed for hosting containers

    Bottlerocket is a free and open-source Linux-based operating system meant for hosting containers. Bottlerocket focuses on security and maintainability, providing a reliable, consistent, and safe platform for container-based workloads. This is a reflection of what we've learned building operating systems and services at Amazon. The base operating system has just what you need to run containers reliably, and is built with standard open-source components. Bottlerocket-specific additions focus on reliable updates and on the API. Instead of making configuration changes manually, you can change settings with an API call, and these changes are automatically migrated through updates. Hosting containers doesn’t require much from an operating system and hosting containers is all Bottlerocket aims to do. Many of the packages, tools, interpreters, and dependencies installed by default in general-purpose Linux distributions are simply not needed to only host containers.

    Moss

    Moss

    Rust Linux-compatible kernel

    Moss Kernel is an open-source operating system kernel project designed to explore modern OS design and provide a foundation for experimental system research and development. Rather than replicating traditional monolithic kernels exactly, it emphasizes modularity, safety, and simplicity by incorporating well-structured subsystems for memory management, scheduling, and device abstraction that are easy for contributors to understand and extend. The kernel uses Rust as its primary implementation language, which gives it strong memory safety guarantees and helps reduce common classes of bugs like data races and buffer overflows without sacrificing performance. It aims to serve as both a learning tool for systems programming students and a testbed for advanced research in kernel architecture, enabling experimentation with new ideas in process isolation, resource management, and driver models.

    OpenObserve

    OpenObserve

    Elasticsearch/Splunk/Datadog alternative for (logs, metrics, traces)

    OpenObserve is a cloud-native observability platform built specifically for logs, metrics, traces, and analytics designed to work at a petabyte scale. It is very simple and easy to operate as opposed to Elasticsearch which requires a couple of dozen knobs to understand and tune which you can get up and running in under 2 minutes. It is a drop-in replacement for Elasticsearch if you are just ingesting data using APIs and searching using Kibana (Kibana is not supported nor required with OpenObserve. OpenObserve provides its own UI which does not require separate installation unlike Kibana). You can reduce your log storage costs by ~140x compared to Elasticsearch by using OpenObserve. Below are the results when we pushed logs from our production Kubernetes cluster to Elasticsearch and OpenObserve using fluent bit. OpenObserve stored data in Amazon s3 and Elasticsearch stored data on Amazon EBS volumes.

    SlateDB

    SlateDB

    A cloud native embedded storage engine built on object storage

    Unlike traditional LSM-tree storage engines, SlateDB writes data to object storage to provide bottomless storage capacity, high durability, and easy replication. SlateDB is an embedded storage engine built as a log-structured merge-tree. Unlike traditional LSM-tree storage engines, SlateDB writes data to object storage (S3, GCS, ABS, MinIO, Tigris, and so on). Leveraging object storage allows SlateDB to provide bottomless storage capacity, high durability, and easy replication. The trade-off is that object storage has a higher latency and higher API cost than local disk. To mitigate high write API costs (PUTs), SlateDB batches writes. Rather than writing every put() call to object storage, MemTables are flushed periodically to object storage as a string-sorted table (SST). The flush interval is configurable. To mitigate write latency, SlateDB provides an async put method.

    BerserkArch

    BerserkArch

    A bleeding-edge, security-centric Arch-based Linux distribution.

    BerserkArch is a security-focused, performance-tuned Linux operating system (OS) based on Arch Linux, designed for developers, hackers, and technical users. A bleeding-edge, security-centric Arch-based Linux distribution crafted for hackers, developers, and nerds alike. Following the Arch Linux philosophy, it is designed to be highly customizable, allowing users to build their environment with only the components they need, rather than having a lot of pre-installed software like some other security distributions (e.g., Kali Linux). As an Arch-based distribution, it benefits from the rolling release model, providing users with the latest software versions and kernel updates. BerserkArch is a dist "designed to make you powerful" for specific use cases like reverse-engineering binaries and automating exploits, rather than being an easy-to-use distribution for general beginners.

    fd

    fd

    A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find'

    fd is a program to find entries in your filesytem. It is a simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to find. While it does not aim to support all of find's powerful functionality, it provides sensible (opinionated) defaults for a majority of use cases. First, to get an overview of all available command line options, you can either run fd -h for a concise help message or fd --help for a more detailed version. fd is designed to find entries in your filesystem. The most basic search you can perform is to run fd with a single argument: the search pattern. Instead of just showing the search results, you often want to do something with them. fd provides two ways to execute external commands for each of your search results: the -x/--exec option runs an external command for each of the search results (in parallel), or the -X/--exec-batch option launches the external command once, with all search results as arguments.

    KMON

    KMON

    Linux Kernel Manager and Activity Monitor

    The kernel is the part of the operating system that facilitates interactions between hardware and software components. On most systems, it is loaded on startup after the bootloader and handles I/O requests as well as peripherals like keyboards, monitors, network adapters, and speakers. The Linux kernel is the open-source, monolithic, and, Unix-like operating system kernel that is used in the Linux distributions, various embedded systems such as routers, and as well as in all Android-based systems. Linus Torvalds conceived and created the Linux kernel in 1991 and it's still being developed by thousands of developers today. It's a prominent example of free and open-source software and it's used in other free software projects, notably the GNU operating system. Although the Linux-based operating systems dominate most of computing, it still carries some design flaws which were quite a bit of debate in the early days of Linux.

    MOROS: Obscure Rust Operating System

    MOROS is a hobby operating system written in Rust by Vincent Ollivier. It targets computers with an x86-64 architecture and a BIOS, typically from 2005 to 2020. It also runs well on most emulators. MOROS is open source. You can build or download an image. Check out the manual for details on how to use it. MOROS is text-based and draws inspiration from Unix and DOS to provide a simple and efficient environment for computing and communication from the command line. Each program is designed to ensure a cohesive user interface across the entire system. The shell is the hearth of MOROS, used to navigate the filesystem and run other programs.
