I do think the Talos model has kinda superseded this when it comes to repeatable deployment tbh
What is the talos model?

In the cloud or on prem I suspect folks are having better luck than I did, but also open to being wrong about this.

My primary use case for K3s is small machines, cheap VPS, Pi, etc. Would love to hear from folks who have had success with Talos in those spaces but last time I gave it a shot the welded shut hood prevented me from doing the little tweaks necessary to get running in those environments.

I'm trying to understand why people are spinning up so many k8s clusters that they need a tool to do it for them? I have one. And it's managed. I don't think there's significant cost savings to going unmanaged, but maybe. Even so, why would I need a ton of them?
I used this for a bit a few years ago but eventually needed something that was hard or impossible in k3sup and just went to using the k3s tools directly. My deployment script actually got simpler after removing k3sup. Also, fun fact, k3sup is pronounced "ketchup" according to the README[0] [0]: https://github.com/alexellis/k3sup/blob/master/README.md
You can pretty install it without ssh under 60s. The fun starts after it has been installed. We have been running into lot of issues at production with k3s. There I embarked on journey to writing a kubernetes compliant and equivalent platform in rust with the help of claude [1]. It is a fun little project for now, still figuring out stuff, idea is to keep it minimal and single binary every embedded including CNI, and…
You have to be careful trying to do this kind of thing. The problems you describe having below are problems with peripheral components, not k3s itself. The runtime handles garbage collection and image pinning. Your embedded runtime is using libcontainer, the same thing containerd uses, so the behavior should be identical. Since you support other runtimes, how they handle image pinning, if they support it at all, will…
Once I have embarked on the journey building this from scratch, there are new innovative ideas I can implement not bound to any foundation or org.
Ps. We do not sell it as product it is 100% free and open-source with MIT license.

I'm early on in my Kubernetes journey and have opted to focus on Talos. Would you be able to share a bit more about the issues and limitations you encountered?
K3s runs on existing operating systems with batteries included.
