  6. TIL about Talos ( https://github.com/siderolabs/talos , via your github/onedr0p/cluster-template link). I'd been previously running k3s cluster on a mixture of x86 and ARM (RPi) nodes, and frankly it was a bit of a PiTA to maintain.

  7. I considered deploying Talos a few weeks ago, and I ran into this: https://github.com/siderolabs/talos/issues/8367 Unless I’ve missed something, this isn’t a big deal in an AWS-style cloud where extra storage volumes (EBS, etc) have…

  10. You might be surprised to find that Talos os (linux distro for kubernetes) mostly uses Go: https://github.com/siderolabs/talos

  11. …but Talos's lack of support for a persistent storage partition (only separate storage device https://github.com/siderolabs/talos/issues/4041 ) really hurts most small home / office usage I'd want to try.
