The only way to interact with it is using talosctl (no ssh, very minimal console, etc.) It is pretty slim and designed only to use k8s. Ubuntu on the other hand is general purpose that can be made to use k8s.
Basically the idea being that your nodes are also cattle.
It’s very interesting. I’m debating moving from fedora coreos to it. About to spin up a test cluster whenever I have free time.
You always have to manage kubernetes. And talos is nothing but a ready to do k8s os.
If you don’t want kubernetes I’d suggest something like fedora coreos.
I’m ok with k8s, I’m just chicken shit because I’ve never had an opportunity to use them in prod.
How does Talos differ from something like Ubuntu with microk8s?
