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.
On February 28, members of the CNCF Technical Oversight Committee completed their voting and unanimously accepted Cozystack, a platform for building private clouds and PaaS, into the CNCF Sandbox. The project is currently undergoing the onboarding process. Let’s break down what this means in practice, what Cozystack is, and what the CNCF Sandbox represents.
Cozystack is an open-source platform that enables the creation of a bare metal cloud for deploying proven cloud-native and open-source tools: managed Kubernetes clusters, databases as a service, applications as a service, and virtual machines based on KubeVirt (see the full list of components). Cozystack also provides a ready-made stack for observability and alerting based on Victoria Metrics, Victoria Logs, Grafana, and Alerta.

As a group of technology enthusiasts, we have combined our knowledge and experience to create a product aimed at simplifying and improving processes for a wide range of users. Our primary focus is on bare-metal servers, where we traditionally encounter the following problems:
Hi there! I’m Andrei Kvapil, but you might know me as @kvaps in communities dedicated to Kubernetes and cloud-native tools. In this article, I want to share how we implemented our own extension api-server in the open-source PaaS platform, Cozystack.
Kubernetes truly amazes me with its powerful extensibility features. You’re probably already familiar with the controller concept and frameworks like kubebuilder and operator-sdk that help you implement it. In a nutshell, they allow you to extend your Kubernetes cluster by defining custom resources (CRDs) and writing additional controllers that handle your business logic for reconciling and managing these kinds of resources. This approach is well-documented, with a wealth of information available online on how to develop your own operators.
We have updated the kubectl-node-shell plugin to v1.11.0.
- Added options: no-mount, – no-net, – no-ipc,–no-uts to disable automatic entry into the specified Linux namespaces.
- Added variable: KUBECTL_NODE_SHELL_IMAGE_PULL_SECRET_NAME to specify a pullSecret for pulling the image.
- Added ability to attach volumes using the -m option; attached volumes can be found in the /opt-pvc directory.
Recent Changes in the Cozystack Open Source Platform: Opencost, Log Collection System, Bridge… was originally published in Ænix on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.
