Talos Linux is the only Linux distribution built specifically for Kubernetes. It is open source, highly secure, and completely API driven. This revolutionary new way of managing systems makes it easier to get started than traditional Linux operating systems and more reliable to perform maintenance. By re-thinking what a single purpose operating system should be Talos is able to minimize the attack surface and still remain flexible to run on bare metal, edge, or in a cloud. Talos scales up as well as it scales down.
