The New Stack PodcastNo SSH? What is Talos, this Linux Distro for Kubernetes?Container-based Linux distributions are gaining traction, especially for edge deployments that demand lightweight and secure operating systems.

The Podlets - A Cloud Native PodcastKubernetes Operating SystemsRunning Kubernetes on conventional operating systems is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Today’s guests Andrew Rynhard and Timothy Gerla have engineered a product that attempts to provide a solution to this problem. They call it Talos, and it is a modern OS designed specifically to host Kubernetes clusters, managed by a flexible and powerful API. Talos is completely stripped down to the bare components required to run Kubernetes and get information from the system. It stays updated by keeping time with Kubernetes, but also provides the user with a large degree of control in the event that they might need to...
