Talos: Secure, immutable, and minimal Linux OS for running Kubernetes
What is Talos Linux? Talos Linux is Linux designed for Kubernetes – secure, immutable, and minimal. - Supports cloud platforms, bare metal, and virtualization platforms - All system management is done via an API.
Talos consists of only a handful of binaries and shared libraries: just enough to run containerd and a small set of system services. Talos improves security further by mounting the root filesystem as read-only and removing any host-level such as a shell and SSH. Talos runs in memory from a SquashFS, and persists nothing, leaving the primary disk entirely to Kubernetes.
