Core Components

Talos Linux

production

Minimal, immutable Linux distribution designed specifically for Kubernetes. No SSH, no shell — managed entirely through API.

Role: Node operating system for all Talos cluster nodes (3 control plane + 3 workers, including 1 GPU worker)

containerd

production

Industry-standard container runtime with low overhead and broad compatibility.

Role: Container runtime on all nodes

Kubernetes

production

Production-grade container orchestration system for automating deployment, scaling, and management.

Role: Core orchestration platform running v1.35.2
