This adds a feature about how Talos is ephemeral. I feel this is
important to get across to our users.

<h1>What is Talos?</h1>
</div>
<div class="text-center">
<div>
Talos is a modern OS designed to be secure, immutable, and minimal.
Its purpose is to host Kubernetes clusters, so it is tightly
integrated with Kubernetes. Talos is based on the Linux kernel, and
supports most cloud platforms, bare metal, and most virtualization
platforms. All system management is done via an API, and there is no
shell or interactive console.

<h1>Why Talos?</h1>
</div>
<div class="flex justify-center">
<div class="text-center w-1/4">
<h2>Security</h2>
<div>
Talos reduces your attack surface by practicing the Principle of
Least Privilege (PoLP) and by securing the API with mutual TLS
(mTLS) authentication.
</div>
</div>
<div class="text-center w-1/4">
<h2>Predictability</h2>
<div>
Talos eliminates unneeded variables and reduces unknown factors in
your environment by employing immutable infrastructure ideology.
</div>
</div>
<div class="text-center w-1/4">
<h2>Evolvability</h2>
<div>
Talos simplifies your architecture and increases your ability to
easily accommodate future changes.

<h1>Features</h1>
</div>
<div class="flex justify-center">
<div class="text-center w-full px-2 py-2 m-2">
<h2>Minimal</h2>
<div>
Talos is a minimalistic distribution that consists of only a
handful of binaries and shared libraries. Just enough to run
containerd and a small set of system services. This aligns with
NIST's recommendation in the
<a
href="https://www.nist.gov/publications/application-container-security-guide"
target="_blank"
>
Application Container Security Guide </a
>.
</div>
</div>
<div class="text-center w-full px-2 py-2 m-2">
<h2>Hardened</h2>
<div>
There are a number of ways that Talos provides added hardening
<ul>
<li>
employs the recommended configuration and runtime settings
outlined in the
<a
href="https://kernsec.org/wiki/index.php/Kernel_Self_Protection_Project"
target="_blank"
>Kernel Self Protection Project</a
>
</li>
<li>
enables mutual TLS for the API
</li>
<li>
enforces the settings and configurations described in the
<a
href="https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/kubernetes/"
target="_blank"
>CIS</a
>
guidelines
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div class="text-center w-full px-2 py-2 m-2">
<h2>Immutable</h2>
<div>
Talos improves its security posture further by mounting the root
filesystem as read-only and removing any host-level access by
traditional means such as a shell and SSH.
</div>
</div>
<div class="text-center w-full px-2 py-2 m-2">
<h2>Ephemeral</h2>
<div>
Talos runs in memory from a Squashfs, and persists nothing,
leaving the primary disk entirely to Kubernetes.
</div>
</div>
<div class="text-center w-full px-2 py-2 m-2">
<h2>Current</h2>
<div>
Stay current with our commitment to an
<tt>n-1</tt>
adoption rate of upstream Kubernetes. Additionally, the latest LTS
Linux kernel will always be used.
