|
Talos is a container optimized Linux distro; a reimagining of Linux for distributed systems such as Kubernetes.
|
|
Designed to be as minimal as possible while still maintaining practicality.
|
|
For these reasons, Talos has a number of features unique to it:
|
|
|
|
- it is immutable
|
|
- it is atomic
|
|
- it is ephemeral
|
|
- it is minimal
|
|
- it is secure by default
|
|
- it is managed via a single declarative configuration file and gRPC API
|
|
|
|
Talos can be deployed on container, cloud, virtualized, and bare metal platforms.
|
|
|
|
