Getting COSI with Talos COSI, the Common Operating System Interface, is a project we are driving and announcing at Kubecon Europe. However, aspects of COSI will be given a sneak preview on this blog and in other places, and we are already engineering some of the benefits of COSI into Talos OS. One big benefit […]
Read more >One of the goals of Talos, as a company, is to help make secure installation and operation of Kubernetes easy (or at least simpler). When we first started Talos, we were good citizens of the Kubernetes world: we used kubeadm for cluster installation. The idea of a common tool for all Kubernetes installations sounds good, […]
Read more >CoreOS to Talos: a journey I loved CoreOS. Since before Kubernetes, since the early days when etcd was a brittle configuration storage database, since fleet was a premiere cluster scheduling system… I had used, worked on, worked with, and loved CoreOS. After a year, all of my new x86 servers, regardless of their locations or […]
Read more >It has been almost two years since Talos was first announced to the world. ARM support was almost immediately a feature request. At the time the project had major features missing that needed to be implemented before we could even think about Talos on ARM. Only after forming a company, hiring a kick ass team, […]
Read more >Originally published at The New Stack. So you are on board with Kubernetes (or thinking about exploring some Kubernetes deployments.)

Major new features include: ARM support: ARM-based images are now built for all cloud platforms. Want to run a secure Kubernetes cluster using Talos OS on AWS […]
Read more >Keeping documentation in sync with the code is always a hard task. That’s why there are automatic tools that can generate documentation for Go code. Godoc, for example, does a great job building a well structured code reference by parsing Go definitions along with comments. Tools like this are common for other languages as well. […]
Read more >Talos is awesome. An OS for Kubernetes that’s completely API-driven and tailor-made just for running Kubernetes? I’ve wanted that long before I actually started working on it with the team. I want to run it everywhere. But the desire to run it everywhere is precisely where things get interesting. In the spirit of the OS […]
Read more >So you want to install Kubernetes on your Mac? The easiest way to get going is to run Kubernetes on Docker, using Talos OS – Talos OS will install and configure Kubernetes on Docker for you. (Note that Docker Desktop does have support for Kubernetes built in, but it is an older version of Kubernetes, […]
Read more >When you are in a fight, sometimes you take one on the chin. In the case of CVE-2020-14386, we may not have taken one on the chin, but it was a hard body shot. One of the goals of Talos OS is to help everyone run secure Kubernetes. The kernel of Talos was vulnerable, but […]
