38. #EveryoneCanContribute cafe: Talos, a Kubernetes OS
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.
Andrew Rynhard dives deep into Talos, the Kubernetes OS.
