The amount and variety of machine images shipped is honestly impressive:

https://github.com/siderolabs/talos/releases/tag/v1.0.6

First time I have seen a project publish vmware-arm64.ova for ESXi arm edition.

Is it still possible to exec into a shell on a cluster node via something like https://github.com/kvaps/kubectl-node-shell ?

GKE runs Google's "Container Optimised" OS. It's just a bare-bones Linux designed for security and performance running containers, very similar to Talos. Edit: Was wrong, thanks for the correction.

“Container-Optimized OS is maintained by Google and based on the open source Chromium OS project.” [0] [0] https://cloud.google.com/container-optimized-os/docs/concept...

Ha. I even triple-checked this with a bunch of google searches to make sure I was right. Sorry about that!

That is strange. They aren't even some common base, CO-OS is literally based on Chromium OS.

Ssh into the nodes and poke around. Interesting FS layout, my typical probing commands didn't work and couldn't figure out the package manager or distro for a while, it was my firsr exposure to chromium os.

I was totally expecting this to be something made by Raptor: https://www.raptorcs.com/TALOSII/

Same. Was expecting polished Debian-based OS for ppc architecture machines. Shucks.

I would expect Raptor folks to contribute upstream to firmware, the Linux kernel, bootloaders and Debian itself, not make a fork just for their own machines. The Debian ppc64el architecture is an official release architecture so Debian supports those machines quite well already.

There's no shell on a Talos machine. You can obviously mount the host filesystem into a container, but you cannot exec onto a node directly (afaik).

I've been looking at Talos for almost a year now. I love the fact there is no shell, each machine is just a K8s node. It seems wonderful, but I can not get it to install. A friend has has the exact same experience, he finally went with Ubuntu and k3s. Has anyone successfully installed it?

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

I think you are misinformed, coreos is still alive within RH products (openshift)

Oh I am well aware of RH CoreOS.

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.
