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 6 cluster nodes (3 control plane, 2 Talos workers, 1 DGX Spark)

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 v1.34.1
