Talos Linux is a specialized operating system designed for running Kubernetes. In my opinion, it does that task better than others. First and foremost it handles full lifecycle management for Kubernetes control-plane components.
On the other hand, Talos Linux focuses on security, minimizing the user’s ability to influence the system. A distinctive feature of this OS is the near-complete absence of executables, including the absence of a shell and the inability to log in via SSH. All configuration of Talos Linux is done through a Kubernetes-like API.
