Talos OS is a Linux-based operating system developed by Sidero Labs specifically for Kubernetes, providing a stable and secure platform for running Kubernetes clusters. According to the vendor, Talos OS is suitable for companies of all sizes, including small startups and large enterprises. It is widely used by various professionals and industries such as DevOps teams, system administrators, IT infrastructure managers, software developers, and cloud service providers.

## Key Features

According to the vendor, Talos OS offers stability by minimizing changes unless desired, ensuring a reliable system. It delivers a secure Kubernetes environment without the need for extensive configuration. The operating system is fully immutable, ensuring consistent performance and security. Furthermore, operations can be easily automated and scaled using API management.

Talos OS simplifies management through a single, consistent, API-driven platform. According to the vendor, it allows for declarative configuration of the entire operating system using a single file, simplifying management tasks. The platform supports various deployment environments, including public cloud, virtualized platforms, bare metal, and edge clusters. Talos OS also supports development-to-production workflows, enabling seamless transitions between development and production environments.

Security is a fundamental aspect of Talos OS, making it suitable for highly regulated environments. The vendor emphasizes that the operating system is designed and configured with security in mind, resulting in a smaller, secure, and stable system. It follows the Kernel Self Protection Project configuration recommendations to enhance security. The API is secured with Mutual TLS and supports Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). Additionally, Talos OS runs from a read-only SquashFS filesystem in RAM, preventing any tampering with the host system.
