A modern OS for Kubernetes.
Talos is a modern OS for running Kubernetes: secure, immutable, and minimal. Talos is fully open source, production-ready, and supported by the people at Sidero Labs All system management is done via an API - there is no shell or interactive console. Benefits include:
- Security: Talos reduces your attack surface: It's minimal, hardened, and immutable. All API access is secured with mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication.
- Predictability: Talos eliminates configuration drift, reduces unknown factors by employing immutable infrastructure ideology, and delivers atomic updates.
- Evolvability: Talos simplifies your architecture, increases your agility, and always delivers current stable Kubernetes and Linux versions.
For instructions on deploying and managing Talos, see the Documentation.
