With Kubernetes you can schedule workloads in a number of different ways. Let’s say you insisted on having a shell and package manager. Run your favorite distro’s container as a Da…

In machined (PID1 of Talos).

In the case of Talos, Kubernetes can provide the flexibility you want from a more traditional Linux distribution.

Have you tried our Slack fir support?

This is correct. You could have a privileged pod that mounts up the host and you can do things from there but even then the OS is read only.

Oh I am well aware of RH CoreOS.

I would say that CoreOS is gone because RH destroyed it. Not because people didn't use it.

We mention CAPI but certainly not 2.0 since the CAPI we are referring to is "Cluster API" and they only have 1.0.

For folks who are all in on a single cloud provider it might not make sense, but if you run Kubernetes in multiple clouds, on-premise, edge, etc. then it starts to make a lot of se…

The same spirit as CoreOS but it is something entirely different. Written from PID1 up solely for the purposes of running Kubernetes.

It is a 50MB squashfs.

Have you guys taken a look at Talos?

For a project similar to bottlerocket, checkout https://github.com/talos-systems/talos . It is geared for cloud, VMware, and bare metal users. We have integrations with Cluster API…

First of all, thank you for taking the time to write this out. The feedback is very valuable. I will do my best to address each comment. Let me start by laying out our design const…

The rootfs in stored in the booloader partition and in the initramfs. As for NFS, I can see us adding support for that, but the out of the box experience for Talos in any of clouds…

Thanks! I haven't heard of Zulip, I will be taking a look!

I haven't tested in Virtualbox yet. Would you mind either join our slack or creating a GitHub issue where we could provide better support?

I spent a lot of time in v0.2 building Talos for ARM, and it works, but there is a good amount of work to be done to make it official. We need to setup ARM nodes to run our builds …

Please file an issue on GitHub and we would be happy to look into this.

Interesting. We PXE boot Talos in packet. One user is even go so far as to PXE boot Talos on every boot.

You absolutely could. The rootfs is read only so what you can do is limited. Kubernetes also landed support for ephemeral containers in 1.16: https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancem…

We do support storage volumes. A recent change in Rook seems to have broken how it works with Talos, but we know storage is important and we are working on fixes. We would love to …

We have our provider here: https://github.com/talos-systems/cluster-api-provider-talos Perhaps OS isn't the right thing to call, but I don't know a better alternative :D
